BELFAST, Maine – Ernie famously sang, “Rubber duckie you’re the one” but who was the one who brought a big spot of joy to a Maine harbor?
That is the big mystery in Belfast, Maine.
A giant rubber duck, with the word joy printed across its chest, appeared in the harbor over the weekend, The Associated Press reported.
The duck is giant by duck standards.
It’s 25 feet tall, compared to the normal 3-inch tall classic duck available on Amazon.

Luckily since it isn’t a hazard for other boats in the harbor, there’s not a rush to make it fly south, Harbor Master Katherine Given told the Bangor Daily News.
“Everybody loves it,” Given told the newspaper. “I have no idea who owns it, but it kind of fits Belfast. A lot of people want to keep it here.”
Some think it may have come from Islesboro where a similar, or the same, duck had been seen floating in the water, the Daily News reported.
