'Survive the Savage Sea' (1973) by Dougal Robertson
In June 1972 Dougal Robertson's yacht with his family aboard was attacked by killer whales in the Pacific Ocean and sank in seconds. This book is the story of their fight for survival.
Survive the Savage Sea by Dougal Robertson is a gripping true story of survival and resilience. Dougal Robertson, a former British merchant navy officer, recounts the harrowing ordeal of his family after their yacht, the Lucette, was sunk by a pod of killer whales in the Pacific Ocean in 1972. Robertson, his wife Lyn, their three children, and a young crew member were left adrift with minimal supplies.
For 38 days, they battled the unforgiving sea, relying on their resourcefulness and determination. They survived by catching fish, turtles, and even birds, while carefully rationing their water. The family faced immense physical and psychological challenges, including harsh weather, hunger, and isolation. Eventually, they were rescued by a passing Japanese fishing vessel, bringing their incredible journey to an end.
The book is not only a tale of survival but also a testament to human endurance, family unity, and the will to live against all odds. It provides vivid descriptions of their daily struggles and the strategies they employed to stay alive, making it an inspiring and unforgettable read.
