6 Years STRANDED On Desolate Pacific Island

This is Clipperton Island. It is just a small barren ring of coral in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In the late 19th century, countries fought for ownership of it for a rare resource the island possessed. To stake their own claim, Mexico sent several families to colonize it, and supplies were regularly sent to keep them alive. Horrifyingly, at some point, these crucial supplies stopped coming, and once it was clear they’d been abandoned, one of these inhabitants revealed himself as a true monster. And this didn’t have to do with a lack of food. This is their horrifying story.

Hey everyone! I know from the thumbnail and title this might seem familiar to another recent story (Isle of Sand), but I promise this is an entirely separate but equally horrifying stranding. In fact, in many ways, this story is much worse…

Same people write books about moon landing and Christopher Columbus right..... Unfortunately We won't see what HELL this reality is until we die. Even if you read all this in multiple sources. Everything we have been feed for generations is an evil plan that is coming to a violent end.

Don't you realize that real life can be more fascinating than fiction? The story of "The Ghost and the Darkness" about the man-eating lions of Tsavo was cut back in the movie, because the real life story was said to be more unbelievable than any movie.

I loved this video, thank you for making it! In 2007, I was an Air Force pilot deployed in South America flying counternarcotic missions in this area, and I remember seeing this tiny island out in the middle of nowhere. I checked the charts and saw it was "Clipperton" and belonged to...France?!? What was France doing all the way over here with nothing else of theirs for thousands of miles? That began my curiosity with this speck of uninhabited coral. I had no idea the history was so interesting...nor macabre until this video!

[@cmdrdisulfiram]

What do you mean "the vegetable garden that was tended to by the British died"??!!? These people were stranded there but nobody cared to look after the one reliable source of food they had? Was it beneath them or something?

[@shauntempley9757]

The British would have had a different diet, and a different way of caring for a vegetable garden than the Mexican families. Because the British come from a country that is basically no warmer than autumn it is a massive difference. It is entirely possible that the Mexican knowledge needs a different soil content to succeed.

[@cmdrdisulfiram]

@@shauntempley9757hmm, that was a month ago, remind me, did the two groups not communicate and therefore that knowledge could not have been passed? If that's the case, than I see your point.

[@shauntempley9757]

That knowledge cannot be exchanged in a tea break. It has to be told, then shown from the very beginning to the end of the process. That cannot be done in one conversation. There also exists the simple fact that Mexican diet and nutrition is not suited to the British diet, and vice versa. Since it was a British vegetable garden, it would have the foods the British needed to be healthy without causing allergic reactions, which at worse can be fatal within moments of eating if you are not aware of it. It is how such food allergies as an allergy to shellfish and peanuts happen, and this is a common British and European allergy. Then you look at such allergies, like those allergic to milk and wheat. A common Maori and Polynesian food allergy. These four allergies have killed thousands of people, some within minutes of eating them, over the last 200 years, most of them on the European outlook in life and death situations like this. The Maori outlook? Simply having your foods replaced without input, as your food sources got destroyed. Some allergies lessen as you eat more. Some allergies get worse as you eat more, and there is no way to tell which way your body will head, and there is no cure for these. @@cmdrdisulfiram​

[@takeapieandrun]

@@cmdrdisulfiramthey probably had separate portions of the island for colonization, and by the time they knew (or if they knew at all) there was a garden all the plants had died

[@kalevipoeg6916]

You'd be surprised how few people actually know HOW to garden effectively in such a way that the soil isn't depleted of nutrients, not too much water or too little, etc. It's not as simple as just planting some seeds and sprinkling some water on if you're talking about sustaining a population for years on end with just vegetables - especially on an island like that where very little will grow in the first place. Doing that DOES take know-how. Try it sometime....

[@StamfordBridge]

Were I in the position of those abused women, one of my first thoughts would be that there are rocks on the island and Victoriano has to sleep …

[@effaroundfindout]

Women were bred to be timid and subservient in those times. I imagine it took them a long time to build up the courage.

[@LowValueMan]

He most likely had measures to prevent that…I assume he could lock the doors for those buildings and the risk of botching a mutiny attempt was very high considering they were malnourished. The initial strike from the hammer didn’t put him down or knock him out just knocked him down which he attempted to go for the g\_|n.

[@Lina-ws3by]

Yeah.... he's gotta sleep

[@ArtisticlyAlexis]

The poor woman in his house must have been restrained while he slept, because I'm sure a monster like that would spend the long hot days thinking of alarms & booby traps to combat whatever the women could come up w/. They were so traumatized, yet were still able to be brave at every point of the story.

[@Lionwoman]

[@-xxMelissaxx-]

What an incredibly twisted story of survival. Those women and children were so resilient and strong. Incredible how their rescuers and others kept the justified killing of the self appointed rapist sadistic "king" a secret to protect the survivors.

[@InquisitorialOperator43]

Resilient, maybe that can be argued. But strong? They allowed themselves to be used for quite a while before 2 members of the group hatched a plan to kill the guy. If they really were as strong as you think, they would have acted sooner and all together considering they had the numbers to overpower the lighthouse guy.

[@MusMasi]

he was also a murderer as well that poor girl and her mother.

@@InquisitorialOperator43 they were malnourished and you forget he had a gun. If he was careful to lock the door and sleep alone with it might be hard to off him. Probably fire while hes asleep might be their ownly chance, but until he let his guard down being a man with a gun might be too much for 5 starving women to overcome.

One detail is in disagreement with Wikipedia, and that is Ramon Arnaud was not sent as punishment. His 5.5 month prison sentence had been completed, and after being demoted to private he had regained his rank over a period of 3 years, and had served in the Caste War of Yucatan, and then posted to Japan. He apparently declined the first rescue because he thought the supply ships would soon resume, not because he feared punishment by the military.

Not sure if it been mentioned already, but a similar story took place on a island atoll of West Coast of Australia. The ship was called Batavia and 1629 got shipwrecked. The story after was horrific. 😢

Multiple countries jostling over literally a giant pile of sh.... guano. Will wonders never cease.

It's called survival. Food production is an actual thing. It doesn't magically appear

[@Nicole-kc1vx]

That pile of shit meant more and higher quality food, you're quite stupid if you think that's not worth fighting over. All animals fight over resources.

[@kbm2055]

They literally went batsh*t crazy.

[@terryIKE69]

@@RuminatingWizard Of course! For years I thought my Lucky Charms magically appeared, bummed aht when I found it was just called survival.

WOW. Amazing story

[@amylee6038]

I was so fascinated by the endless repetition about how something terrible happened on this island that I looked at some other videos to tell me what, without the click baiting.

Hello! I am brazilian and you should really check the story of the Cesium 137, a radioactive disaster that happened in Goiânia... It started when one humble person found an extremely radioactive leftover ( it was glowing and beautiful) from some throwaway medical equipment and took it home.. gave it to his kids, friends, and then the sickness spread.. It's one of the most tragic incidents in Brazil to this day. Love your channel and would love if you researched about this case! There are movies even but I don't recommend them since they are rlly old. Documentaries about it are plenty and great though!

[@guilhermehank4938]

It was pretty well covered by other channels already.

[@terenceflanagan1225]

Such a sad story. They didn't know ..pobrazinhos

[@noelvalenzarro]

Kyle Hill did a good documentary on it as well as covering nearly every other nuclear related disaster that’s happened respectfully and with means to educate

Magellan was portuguese, worked for the spanish crown...
