The waterproof camera was discovered on 2 November on the western shore of Süderoog, a tiny German island in the Wadden Sea. At one point the camera is positioned on a rock and left behind. Using a computer programme usually employed to calculate the location of people missing at sea, German officers identified the sea coastal stretch as the likely origin of the camera. Two days later, rescue officers are still waiting to hear from the owner of the camera. “Our hope is that the boy can be reunited with his camera in time for Christmas – that would be a happy ending.”
