I Drank Turtle Blood & Ate Sharks To Survive: A Real Castaway Story | Extraordinary Lives |

In this episode, Douglas Robertson shares his incredible story of when he and his family were shipwrecked in the Pacific Ocean after their boat was attacked by a school of killer whales. They survived for 38 days in a dinghy with barely any food or drinking water.

We speak to people with a unique life story to tell. From a North Korea escapee to an undercover cop, a Cold War spy to a shipwreck survivor. Hosted by LADbible's Ben-Powell Jones, this series is a window into remarkable experiences – with stories that paint a picture of extraordinary lives.


With thanks to Douglas Robertson for sharing his story.

You can find out more information through the National Maritime Museum (Cornwall) where the dinghy is kept to this day:
