There was also Capt. Andrew Wing of the whaling bark Canton who in 1982 ran onto an uncharted reef and was forced to run 3800 miles in open boats for 45 days, eventually reaching Guam. Unlike some of the other shipwreck survival tales, Capt. Wing was able to bring his crew home without consuming them: reprinted in YANKEES UNDER SAIL, story by Chester Howland. |
