Residents of the tiny Irish village of Ballyglass received quite a surprise when a mysterious and abandoned houseboat washed ashore. As AWM shares, the mystery deepened when they found a curious note attached.
The villagers didn’t quite know what to make of the caravan-sized boat, but they started digging around inside to see if they could make heads or tails of things. That’s when they discovered a strange note that left them even more perplexed.
“I, Rick Small, donate this structure to a homeless youth to give them a better life that Newfoundlanders choose not to do! No rent, no mortgage, no hydro,” the note read.

Some further digging would lead them to learn that Small was an adventurer from Canada that had previously gained notoriety for riding a solar-powered bike across the massive country. Small hasn’t been located thus far, so speculation continues to swirl on how the houseboat made its way across the Atlantic.

“He told me his plan was to take the boat and prove that solar power could sail it across the Atlantic. I never saw him again after that,” shared Timothy Legrow, who recalls seeing the boat stationed in Newfoundland.
