概要
Found Adrift: The List That Survived Eleven Days at Sea

Fear tightens when ordinary routines are ripped away: a folded list with seven names kept its ink after eleven days on the Gulf of Mexico, five names marked "can swim" and two left unmarked - including a woman who could not swim. How did that paper outlast the ship, the wreckage, and most of the people it named, and what does the list reveal about the choices made in those first hours?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from departure through collision, the lifeboat's drift, and the recovery of survivors and the soaked list, laying out the facts that led investigators to search in the wrong direction and to the discovery that changed everything: what did the list mean for those aboard?

Date: November 9, 2011
Event: Collision between MV Peralta and MV Calloway Star
Person: Wayne Davis
Location: Gulf of Mexico, eighty miles from the Louisiana coast
Case: Lifeboat found eleven days after collision

- The Calloway Star left Port Arthur, Texas on November 6, 2011 with a crew of fourteen and a partial load of industrial solvents.
- At 23:37 on November 8, the MV Peralta struck the Calloway Star on the port side; the Peralta's AIS transponder was not transmitting.
- In twenty-two minutes after the collision, two crew members were dead, five went into the water and were lost, and seven reached the only functioning lifeboat.
- Second Officer Thomas Hewitt wrote a list on the morning of November 9 with seven names and the notation "can" beside five names to indicate swimmers; two names had no notation.
- Fisherman Ralph Cook found the lifeboat eleven miles southwest of where search crews had been working for ten days on the morning of November 19; the folded paper survived under a dented water tin.
