About this listen

This is the story of Tromelin Island. In 1761, the French ship Utile wrecked on a barren sandbank in the Indian Ocean. On board were nearly 150 Malagasy captives, chained in the hold, and over 140 French sailors. The wreck claimed dozens of lives, but what followed was even more haunting: betrayal, abandonment, and an unimaginable fight for survival. For fifteen years they endured storms, starvation, and silence. 🔔 Subscribe for more real survival stories and historical mysteries.This video includes paid stock, public domain, or Creative Commons content under fair dealing/fair use.
