Lítla Dímun, Faroe Islands, Norwegian Sea

In 1918 The Danish schooner Caspe, carrying a cargo of salt, was driven onto Lítla Dímun by a gale. The six crew were able to reach a narrow ledge just above the surf, but they had no stores, and the captain was severely injured. Eventually they managed to move from the ledge, and found a cabin half-way up the island which had matches, fuel and a lamp.
They caught two sheep and a sick bird, and were able to survive for seventeen days before being discovered and rescued by a fishing boat. One of the shipwrecked sailors settled in the Faroes.
