A person stuck in a lifeboat tapes his journey. Little does he know that he is about to die.\<br\>\<br\>[http://www.break.com/index/video-found-from-shipwreck2.html](http://www.break.com/index/video-found-from-shipwreck2.html)\<br\>\<br\>[\<img alt="" src="[http://gcaptain.com/maritime/forum/extensions/YUIEditor/img/6371222438339](http://gcaptain.com/maritime/forum/extensions/YUIEditor/img/6371222438339)]]([http://www.break.com/index/video-found-from-shipwreck2.html](http://www.break.com/index/video-found-from-shipwreck2.html))\<br\>\<br\>A drip as my sweat hits the cabin floor.A clunk of a pipe, perhaps…I don’t want to be here any more.I cant think over the endless slaps, claps, flaps.I’m scared to become the surrounding gore.We arrived as a company of four.Now I am alone, I hope…I feel something’s thirst poor through the door.A mind as twisted and tight as old hemp rope.The water is cold, so cold it’s soreThe room floods, I accept death beforeIt has the satisfaction fromdrowning my sole. I start to tremor.We should not have come!

He spent five hours clinging to the upturned hull, before a wave  
righted the boat. For a further 24 hours he managed to keep the boat  
afloat, before he was rescued by the Canadian Coast Guard.\<br\>\<br\>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom\_Mee](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_Mee)
