NEWNAN, Ga. — A woman who lost her camera in Hawaii six years ago will be reunited with it after it washed ashore in Taiwan recently.

Lindsay Scallan lost the Canon camera in 2007 while scuba diving in Hawaii.

"It was towards the end of the trip and my pictures were on there and it was my first experience there, so I was pretty upset about it. But what are you going to do?" she told CBS Atlanta.

The camera was forgotten until few weeks ago, when an employee of China Airlines was walking along a beach in eastern Taiwan. A wave washed the camera onto the sand. The memory card was still intact, according to WSB TV. The man took the camera to police, who contacted a Hawaiian TV station.

"(He) found the pictures still on the memory card and got in touch with Hawaiian officials to see if they could help find who the owner was, the 'mystery blonde woman,' as they called it," Scallan said.

China Airlines created a Facebook page titled "China Airlines is looking for you," and offered to fly the owner of the camera to Taiwan to retrieve it.

Utah man tracks down owners of camera lost at sea

A family in southern California is going to be reunited with a missing GoPro camera that slipped into the ocean just before Christmas — and it's all thanks to an honest Utah man.

Scallan finally found out about it when a high school friend messaged her on Facebook. He said his wife had found an article and he thought it was about Scallan.

"I just was floored that it was my camera and it was all my old pictures, and it was amazing. I just couldn't believe it had floated so far, so long ago, and the memory card was still intact," Scallan told the Taipei Times.

The story is similar to that of a Southern California family reunited with their camera a year ago. The family lost their GoPro camera at sea and believed it gone forever, until a St. George man discovered it and put clips of the video online.
