Captain Charles H. Barnard ISAAC BROWN NICK NAPORA
Origin
In 1812, Captain Charles H. Barnard came across the shipwrecked British ship captained by George Higton in the Falkland Islands. After Barnard realized that the British castaways were unaware of the War of 1812, he informed the British that they were at war with each other, but agreed to rescue them anyway. When Captain Barnard and his crew went to search for provisions, the British stole the Nanina and left the Americans behind.
Environment
The crew was stranded on Eagle Island, a southern island in the Falkland Island chain. As one might presume due to their geographical situation, the climate of the islands is cold, humid, and windy.
Survival
Barnard and his men made a rough stone building for shelter. Sea lion, seals, and other marine life made up most of their diet. Barnard and his crew were stranded on the island for two years before finally being rescued by British whalers in 1814.
