Ducks Ahoy...Oceanographers learning through junk

Thousands of rubber ducks are expected to wash up on the American coast - after more than 10 years at sea. The ducks - along with other bathtub toys like beavers, turtles and frogs - fell overboard from a container ship en route from China to Seattle during a storm in 1992. Oceanographers say the trip has taught them valuable lessons about the ocean's currents.
