Three Men. Eleven Days. One Impossible Journey.
Three men from Nigeria survived an almost unbelievable crossing of the Atlantic — 11 days clinging to the rudder of a massive oil tanker headed for Spain’s Canary Islands. With nothing but hope and sheer determination, they hid just above the waterline of the Alithini II, a ship that left Lagos and traveled more than 2,700 miles toward Europe.

Down there, only inches above the rolling ocean, the world was a strip of metal and endless water. They had almost no food, no shelter, and no protection from the freezing nights or the violent waves crashing beneath them. Every hour became a fight against exhaustion, hunger, and the fear of slipping into the sea.
When the tanker finally reached Las Palmas, Spanish coast guards spotted the three men — thin, dehydrated, but alive — and pulled them to safety. Rescuers described their survival as nothing short of extraordinary… a quiet testament to how far human beings will go when they’re chasing the smallest chance of a better life.
