A mysterious giant rubber duck has captivated local residents of Belfast, Maine, and social media, as people wonder who put it in the town's harbor. The 25-foot-tall waterfowl emblazoned with the word “joy” appeared in Belfast Harbor over the weekend, though no one is sure how it got there. Although sleuths continue to search for answers, the duck has been embraced by the community — as it doesn't pose a navigational hazard. “I have no idea who owns it, but it kind of fits Belfast," Harbor Master Katherine told the Bangor Daily News. "A lot of people want to keep it here.” 📸: New England Cable News via @apnews
