Though I read somewhere it may be a hoax?

If it was a hoax it was a very well orchestrated one. Everything I read said that the paper and the bottle were appropriate for the time period. Also the coordinates match where the ship would have been during that time according to records. I can't see why someone would go to those lengths to fake that.
