Would Your Relationship Survive a Shipwreck?


Listen Later

After a whale struck Maurice and Maralyn Bailey’s boat in 1972, the British couple found themselves stranded on a tiny rubber raft in the Pacific Ocean. In a new book, journalist Sophie Elmhirst looks at how the shipwrecked couple survived together for months – starving and pushed to their emotional limits. We’ll talk to Elmhirst about relationships under extreme conditions and why we’re so drawn to survival stories. And we want to hear from you: How do you think your own relationship would fare under similar circumstances?


Guests:

Sophie Elmhirst, author of "A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession and Shipwreck"
