Description
A Lost Sailor Book Description: The news was learned on February 28, 1955: Eight members of the crew of a destroyer named "Caldas" of the Colombian Navy fell into the sea and disappeared from this destroyer, which was caught in a storm in the Antilles Sea. After being repaired in the shipyards of the city of "Mobile", they left Alabama and went to "Cartagena". The destroyer, bound for Yachts, arrived at this port one hundred and twenty minutes after the disaster. The search for the survivors began immediately, with the participation of the United States military units responsible for the control of the Panama Canal and other aid organizations in the Southern Caribbean region. Four days later, the searches were stopped and these missing sailors were officially considered dead. But one of these lost sailors was found dying on a deserted beach in Northern Colombia a week later. This sailor named "Luis Alejandro Velasco" was left on a stray raft for ten days without eating or drinking. This book is the story of what he went through. Gabriel Garcia Marquez "
