The Raft of the Medusa: A Tale of Survival and Horror on the High Seas
On July 2, 1816, a French frigate named the *Medusa* met disaster when it struck a shallow reef 30 miles off the coast of what is now Mauritania. With over 400 souls aboard and too few lifeboats to save them all, the ship’s captain devised a desperate plan: construct a massive raft to carry those who couldn’t fit into the boats. The idea was straightforward—lash the raft to the lifeboats and tow it to shore. If it had worked, it might have been hailed as a stroke of genius. Instead, it spiraled into one of the most gruesome maritime catastrophes in history.
