At that time, reefer cars were only just starting to use mechanical cooling systems. Before then, they were all basically ice boxes. The early systems weren't that efficient and needed to move to cool.

there surely must have been a moment where they were just floating, about 20 days in. and muttered "well, this sucks."
I'm sure they enjoyed their boat capsizing and floating in an icebox for the first 19 days. It's usually on day 20 that things start getting hairy.



yea, those first 19 days are a cakewalk if you have an icebox. its those guys using lumps of wood and floating chair cushions that are in trouble.

They wouldn't have been so dehydrated if they would have just plugged-in the ice box and kept themselves cool!

That's amazing that it rained enough to keep them alive, yet didn't storm so much that they got clobbered. I suppose that it wouldn't really take that much rain, perhaps an inch or two. Then again, they're in the sun all day.
And what happened to the rest of the crew? How did these two end up in the ice box and the others end up dead?


Have you ever seen "Alive!" ?

Like when people say airplanes should be made out of the stuff that they make into the black box?
