This Little Girl Was Found Adrift At Sea In 1961..

#1. Floating Adrift At The Bahamas

Back in 1961, a freighter sailed around the Bahamas when its crew spotted something in the waters below. Upon closer inspection, they found out that it was a young girl, who was barely alive, drifting through the ocean on a tiny cork float.

How exactly did the 11-year-old child named Terry Jo Duperrault found herself floating aimlessly in the Atlantic Ocean alone?

#2. Family Trip

Little Terry Jo’s visit to this part of the world was initially meant to be the family trip of a lifetime for the Dupperraults. In fact, Dr. Arthur Duperrault, a 41-year-old eye doctor from Green Bay, Wisconsin and his wife Jean, 38, had saved up money for a long time just for this trip.
