On March 31, 1970, four Barbadian fishermen were left stranded at sea after their boat’s pump failed, leaving them drifting in darkness. Their situation worsened when a passing ship collided with their vessel, forcing them into open water. In a desperate fight for survival, the men signaled for help and attempted to reach the ship.
