The United States loses about 50 commercial fishermen per year but most of them are killed by accidents that don't involve drowning or the vessel sinking. I think it's safe to say that it's fewer than 200,000 as of 2020 but it may have been a lot more in 1952. Changes in navigation, communication, and rescue services have doubtless made a huge difference. Nevertheless, 200,000 does sound almost incredible.

Excessive iodine intake can be almost as bad for the thyroid as iodine deficiency.

@@garethbaus5471 That is actually not entirely correct, the proposed Wolf Chaikoff effect is proven to maintain itself under sustained iodine exposure. I don't know if you are still interested lol. What the thyroid then additionally requires is symporters like vitamin C and selenium to limit the formation of hydrogenperoxide, which would lead to scarring of thyroid tissue. In general however, studies on the Japanese show that increased iodine intake several thousand times the RDA (which is way to low anyway) is beneficial and promotes both neuronal growth as well as enhanced energy metabolism. Anyway, castaways at sea are under a completely different situation and would probably face the same problems due to vitamin c deficiency. This could be alleviated by adequate fresh fish and algae though, since fish does contain vitamin C when not cooked. The bigger problem is actually meat starvation. Protein requires water to be broken down and not all seafoods are rich enough in fatty acids to make up for the high amount of protein in this diet. Tell me what you think. Super interesting topic :)

I found a copy of his book "The Bombard Story" amongst my parents books when I was about 10 years old and it had a profound effect on me. I have ever since had a great respect for the solo adventurers - Francis Chichester, David Lewis, Chay Blyth, Blondie Hasler - especially those who did these things before modern communications and navigation aids reduced the degree of isolation and navigational uncertainly involved.

Funny I didn't notice that or the "fish hooks for bones" one

I wonder if his psychological mindset aided in his journey. Doing a shorter practice run, even just knowing he was doing this for science verses your boat sinking or capsizing at sea. Watching friends/love ones possibly die. State of mind greatly increased his odds.

It's actually amazing how much he considered what his story would look like in the media and in the eyes of the general (and scrutinizing) public. He not only had the dedication to proof his theory, but also convincingly proof it to the everyman.

I'm going to be honest, you starting off every video with the commercial, and then still having commercials in your videos, really puts me off to watching your stuff.

Truly fascinating. I'd not heard of Alain Bombard prior to today, but you have to respect the man. Very old school approach to testing his theory, but extremely well thought through from a physical standpoint. No surprise that his mental health deterioration was unexpected as psychology was still in it's relative infancy at the time. Many people will owe their lives and thanks to Alain Bombard. Thank you for the presentation.

Cool video. Thanks. Never heard of Alain Bombard before. What happens in many first hand accounts I've read. The castaways catch a fish or a seagull and eat the flesh. We can't digest protein without water, so they wind up vomiting and then thinking the fish or seagull, might not be palatable. The advice then is: if you're dehydrated, catch fish, drink the fluids, let the flesh dry in the sun, but don't eat the meat until you have water.
