The Dry Clipboard: How Four Survived Eleven Days Adrift

The clip of a corroded aluminum clipboard was dry and legible after eleven days at sea, its paper listing seven names with a single column headed "Swim" and Y/N marks - and four people were later found alive in a lifeboat more than forty miles from where searchers expected debris. How did that sheet stay bone dry and what does that reveal about the eleven days between a midnight collision and a marina dock cleat?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the Meridian's departure through the collision at 02:20 and the eleven days the survivors spent adrift, following the decisions made on deck, in the lifeboat, and by those who kept time and records. What choices and small calculations kept four people breathing when the math said they should not?
