History of Santuario Island - The Rescue

July 3rd, 1933. As dawn approached, Villianueva and his crew reach the southern part of the island, using very little light in the way of guidance, he sails the ship around the eastern side of the island, heading towards the small inlet located on the north side. Slowly guiding his ship about 100 yards from the shoreline, Villianueva makes his way across the unknown waters.

Nearing the northern portion of the island, Villianueva spots the dancing flames of the fire left burning on the shore. As the ship slowly coast towards the shallows of the inlet, a sudden loud scrapping sound breaks the silence. The crew race to brace themselves as the ship shifts to one side. The men on the shore watch in horror as boards on the bottom of the ship are ripped from their position by a huge patch of reef hidden beneath the surface of the water. The ship comes to a complete stop, stranded on the reef as water begins to pour into the damaged portion of the ship. All of the men aboard the ship abandon it and make their way to the shore, where they are meet by their fellow crewmen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seeing their chance of any immediate rescue sway lifelessly in the waves of the water, the men decide that survival has become a serious matter. Villianueva and some of the men begin to gather grass, branches and vine from around the island to make a large shelter, one big enough to protect the men and equipment that had been salvaged. A small group of crewmen build makeshift barges and make their way to the battered ship, collecting anything that may be useful on this untouched island.

Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, as the men struggled to stay alive. The hopes of being rescued by anyone was fading away from the minds of the stranded men. Villianueva split his crew into two groups of 12, with him in charge of one and his firstmate in charge of the other, to explore the land further as resources are beginning to dwindle in their area. As the explorations ventured deeper into the dense jungle and more of the island was seen for the first time, one of the groups would stumble upon something that would change everyone's lives forever.
