A shipwrecked sailor
Luis Alejandro Velasco was a sailor aboard a Colombian destroyer that was caught in heavy waves, causing eight crew members to be washed overboard. Velasco managed to find a raft and spent ten days adrift at sea without food before washing ashore on an unknown coast, later discovered to be Colombia. He was initially greeted with affection but later received military honors and money from publicity agencies for surviving his ordeal alone at sea on the raft. The story is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's first major work and tells of Velasco's experience of being shipwrecked and drifting for ten days before making it to shore.
A Shipwrecked Sailor presented by Bhavya AV
"The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the story of a man who is hopelessly lost at sea but miraculously survives for ten days without food or water and withstands the rough water.
A shipwrecked sailor
In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez’s account of that sailor’s ordeal.
Presentation1
This lesson plan introduces students to the story of a shipwrecked sailor through a video and discussion. The teacher asks students about their travel experiences and introduces Robinson Crusoe as another story of survival at sea. Students learn that the story they will focus on is about a real 20-year-old sailor named Luis Alejandro Velasco who was washed overboard during a storm in 1955 and clung to a life raft for 10 days. The first part of the story is then presented where the sailor recounts how the ship suddenly plunged into the abyss and disappeared, leaving him alone at sea clinging to crates.

Popular television plays aired during the 1970s included "Gulong ng Palad", "Flor de Luna", and "Anna Liza" which told stories of family and struggle. Campus publications also emerged as an important platform for literature during this time with papers like the Philippine Collegian, Balawi, and Pandayan.
Philippine Literature during American Era by: Marjorie Torres
Philippine literary production during the American Period in the Philippines was spurred by two significant developments in education and culture. One is the introduction of free public instruction for all children of school age and two, the use of English as medium of instruction in all levels of education in public schools.
8 american colonial period
The United States bought the Philippines from Spain for $20 million in 1898, beginning the American colonial period. A bitter war ensued between American colonizers and Filipino rebels, resulting in around 4,000 American deaths but over 30,000 Filipino casualties. Economically, there was little industrial growth under American rule. Writers were divided between those who supported American rule and nationalists, and nationalist writers were often branded as seditious. English became the primary language of instruction in schools, establishing a new form of colonialism through the English language. Notable Filipino writers emerged during this period who wrote using new literary forms and in both English and Filipino languages.

Hans Wiesman grew up in post-colonial Borneo where he developed a fascination with Dakota cargo planes, the only connection to the outside world. As an adult, he rediscovered his passion and began searching remote regions to find forgotten Dakotas. He has ventured into jungles, mountains, and other difficult areas, sometimes finding intact planes still in use, and other times only ghostly wrecks. His book documents the expeditions across the world in his quest to find and preserve remnants of the legendary DC-3.
Colapesce legend
The Colapesce legend originates from 12th century southern Italy and tells the story of Nicola, nicknamed Colapesce for his ability to move in the sea. Colapesce spent all his time diving and exploring the sea, bringing back treasures, which annoyed his mother who cursed him to become like a fish. Over time his skin became scaly and his hands and feet like fins. King Roger tested Colapesce's abilities, having him retrieve objects from the sea, until asking him to bring back fire he saw underneath Sicily, which consumed Colapesce when he dove down to support a cracked sea column and save his beloved land from collapsing.
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The poem describes how sailors sometimes capture albatrosses for amusement. The majestic birds that once freely flew over the sea are now clumsy and struggle to walk on the ship's decks with their large wings dragging behind them. The poem compares the once graceful albatross to a poet, who is also out of place on land among hostile people, with his giant wings hindering his path, like the bird with its wings now useless.
Stories of the Southern Sea2
It lives in the hole where the moon used to be. And for most of the worst part of the northern winter, over the last two decades, so have we.
The real South Pacific was not a Bali Hai musical, but a drama of cannibals and castaways, headhunters and slavers, paradise and perdition.

Antonio Pigafetta was an Italian explorer who joined Ferdinand Magellan's expedition to the Spice Islands in 1519 and kept a journal documenting the voyage. The expedition departed Spain in 1519 and spent over a year navigating the treacherous Strait of Magellan before reaching the Philippines in 1521, where Magellan was killed in a battle. After further exploring the region, the expedition reached the Spice Islands and began the return voyage, with only one ship, the Victoria, making it back to Spain in 1522 and completing the first circumnavigation of the globe. Pigafetta's journal provided valuable information about the peoples, lands, and sea routes encountered on the historic three-year voyage.
Sailing on a Sea of Songs final Paper
This document provides an overview of different ship designs during the Golden Age of Sail. Merchant ships had flat bottoms and wide beams for cargo capacity and stability. Clipper ships were fast vessels with sharp lines and thin deep keels for speed and maneuverability. Whaling ships needed to be fast but also carry small boats to hunt whales, so they had designs like pivoting hull sections to aid rowing. Naval vessels focused on combat, not crew comfort, pressing men into unwilling service. The document explores ship designs through excerpts of historical documents and sea songs describing ships' purposes and features.

CAPT. GEO FLAVEL -- WRECK & PERIL OF THE GEN'L WARREN -- LONG FORM
The General Warren, a steamship owned by Abernethy & Clark, sank off the coast of Oregon after attempting to cross the Columbia River bar during a storm. The ship was overloaded with loose wheat cargo and took on water quickly. When it turned back to Astoria harbor, the ship became unmanageable in the strong tide and storm conditions. Captain George Flavel, the bar pilot, beached the ship on Clatsop Spit, but it was already breaking apart in the heavy surf. Many passengers and crew drowned in the sinking, though some were able to get to shore in the ship's one remaining lifeboat.
Death on the Mississippi
The Sultana suffered the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history when three of its boilers exploded in 1865, killing around 1,700 Union soldiers who were passengers. The overloaded steamboat was carrying nearly 2,300 people, six times its capacity, as it traveled up the Mississippi River. When the boilers exploded near Memphis in the early morning hours, the ship split in two and sank within minutes, with only two lifeboats and 76 life preservers for the massive loss of life. Despite being such a catastrophic event, the sinking of the Sultana received little media coverage and attention at the time and has been largely forgotten by history books.
Explorers'club
Saint Brendan was an Irish monk who may have traveled to the Americas in the 5th century, though this is considered a myth without physical evidence. Columbus obtained information about lands across the Atlantic from fishermen in England and Portugal who likely explored the waters off Canada and the Caribbean. While we don't know if Saint Brendan or others like the Welsh or Phoenicians reached America, Columbus appeared to have knowledge from European sailors.
Flying dutchman
The myth of the Flying Dutchman originates from 17th century Dutch folklore of a ghost ship doomed to sail the oceans forever. It is believed to have begun with a real Dutch ship that sank off the Cape of Good Hope in 1641. Many reported sightings of the ship occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries near the Cape of Good Hope. Explanations for sightings include optical effects like mirages that could make a real ship appear elevated in the air. The legend has inspired many cultural adaptations in art, literature, video games and amusement parks.
The legend of Cola pesce
Nicola, known as Cola Pesce, had a passion for the sea from a young age. After angering his mother by throwing caught fish back, she cursed him to become a fish. He grew fins, gills and scales and could live both in and under the sea. Cola Pesce had many adventures underwater, visiting other lands and meeting different people. His fame spread to the king, who tested Cola Pesce by having him retrieve a crown from the deep sea. When the king later asked him to bring back fire he saw supporting Sicily, Cola Pesce drowned trying to complete the task. According to the legend, he remains underwater, supporting the land between Messina and Catania on his shoulder
Ferdinand Magellan
Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522. While Magellan did not survive the journey, the expedition established several important geographic discoveries and accomplishments under his leadership, including determining that South America allowed passage to the Pacific Ocean, his naming of the Pacific Ocean, and being the first Europeans to reach South America's southern tip and land in the Philippines. The expedition's completion of the first global circumnavigation was ultimately achieved under the continued leadership of Juan Sebastian Elcano after Magellan's death.
