![A Young Boy Floating On A Life Raft After Drifting At Sea For 13 Months Shadow Of The Titanic: The Extraordinary Stories Of Those Who Survived](https://memoir.mamanbook.com/medium-image/a-young-boy-floating-on-a-life-raft-after-drifting-at-sea-for-13-months.jpeg)
Luis Salvador was just 15 years old when he set out on a perilous journey across the Pacific Ocean, hoping to reach the United States and a better life. However, tragedy struck when his boat capsized during a storm, leaving him stranded on a small life raft with limited supplies.
For the next 13 months, Salvador drifted at the mercy of the ocean currents. He subsisted on raw fish and rainwater, enduring relentless heat, hunger, and thirst. Despite the unimaginable hardships he faced, Salvador never gave up hope.
Miraculously, Salvador was eventually rescued by a passing cargo ship. He had lost over 50 pounds and was severely malnourished, but his indomitable spirit had carried him through the ordeal.

In 1972, a Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying 45 passengers crashed in the remote Andes mountains. The survivors found themselves stranded at an altitude of over 12,000 feet, facing freezing temperatures, limited food, and no hope of rescue.
As days turned into weeks, the survivors faced a horrifying choice: cannibalism. Faced with starvation, they reluctantly resorted to eating the flesh of their deceased companions to stay alive.
After 72 days, two of the survivors, Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, made a desperate attempt to trek across the mountains to seek help. After a grueling 10-day journey, they finally reached civilization and brought rescuers back to the crash site.

Steven Callahan was an experienced sailor when his boat capsized in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in 1982. He was left with only a life raft, a few supplies, and no way to contact the outside world.
For the next 76 days, Callahan drifted at sea. He faced relentless storms, scorching heat, and dwindling supplies. He subsisted on raw fish and sea turtles, and used his ingenuity to create makeshift tools and shelter.
Through it all, Callahan never lost hope. He kept a meticulous journal, which later became a best-selling book, detailing his ordeal and his unwavering determination to survive.
