(DFC TODAY) – Six sailors from the Brazilian vessel Bom Jesus found themselves stranded on an uninhabited island on April 1 after the ship caught fire. Miraculously, a message in a bottle led to their rescue.
A fisherman found the bottle containing their desperate plea and immediately contacted the Brazilian Navy. After 13 days without food or a sufficient supply of fresh water, the grateful sailors were rescued from Ilha das Flechas, also known as Arrow Island.
The sailors had been forced to abandon the ship after the vessel caught fire during a 10-day ocean expedition. The group found shelter on a remote island off the coast of the Brazilian state of Para.
