A Child's Shoe Nailed to a Federal Buoy: The Ardmore Witch Survival

A child's size four pink canvas sneaker, nailed with a single sixteen-penny framing nail to an orange federal buoy, sat oxidizing in salt before anyone could explain why - someone had been in open ocean with a hammer and a nail. How did a lost shoe belonging to a six-year-old named Poppy end up on buoy FL-7 while its owner’s grandmother spent eleven nights alone adrift on the Ardmore Witch?
In this episode, we tell the chain of events from the Ardmore Witch’s August 3 departure through the discovery of the shoe on August 19, laying out the timeline, the small recorded details, and the open question that links them: who made the decision to nail that sneaker to a buoy and when?
Person: Michelle Ford
Date: August 3, 2011 (departure); August 19, 2011 (shoe found)
Location: buoy FL-7 on Palmetto Shelf; departure from Brunswick
Item: size four pink canvas sneaker with velcro strap and a drawn flower
Event: eleven nights alone in the Atlantic after a squall on August 5
- The shoe was attached to the buoy with a single sixteen-penny framing nail whose head was already oxidizing.
- Michelle Ford left Brunswick at 06:15 on August 3, 2011 aboard the thirty-eight-foot wooden ketch Ardmore Witch.
- The Ardmore Witch’s AIS transponder went silent at 23:50 on the night of August 5 after the mizzen mast came down.
- The shoe remained in an evidence bag for eleven days with no connection to any case before being linked to the Ardmore Witch story.
- Bert Causey logged hearing a bearing of “43 or 48” at 04:40 on August 7 in his radio log and did not report it for two weeks.
