A sea of sneakers

This story is told in the book `An Introduction to the World's Oceans´.
When on May 27th 1990, 78,932 Nike sneakers fell overboard on their
way to the US from South Korea, a quick-thinking oceanographer
realized that keepingtrack of where the sneakers eventually beached
would tell the world a lot about how the ocean moves.

    Da die Lieferung von 1990 war, waren da wohl warscheinlich keine AJKOs bei, aber es gibt ja noch andere schöne Sachen aus der Zeit....
