Offshore crews keeping lookout for toy ship in Atlantic

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-43838985

Ollie Ferguson, eight, and Harry, five, from Turriff, first launched their Playmobil pirate ship called Adventure from Peterhead in May last year.

It initially reached Scandinavia, and is now off Guyana.

Their father said the tracker battery power was currently at about 25% and it needed to be recharged.

The boys launched the pirate ship as part of a bucket list of adventures they put together.
