Incredible Escape: 2,100 Miles, 30 Days, and an Open Boat
Manage episode 404686029 series 3440529
While The Philippine Islands fell to enemy forces on May 6, 1942, a small, open boat with 18 passengers quietly sailed out of Manila Bay under cover of darkness.
It was a last, desperate attempt to escape capture and make their way 2,100 miles to Australia.
And guess what? They made it.
This is an adventure story you don’t want to miss!
