In the 19th century,

19世纪，

oil from the whales' massive heads

鲸鱼头里的油

could make great fortunes.

很值钱。

Whalemen targeted the calves first,

捕鲸人的首选，

knowing the rest of the pod

知道大把的钱

would soon come to their aid

会很快随着他们的协作

and into the range of the harpoons.

而盆满钵盈。

But for one ship,

但有一艘船

the whales got their revenge.

遭到了鲸鱼的报复。

Without warning,

没有任何迹象，

a huge bull rammed the hull of the 87-foot *****.

一头巨蓝鲸猛撞87英尺*****的船体。

Within days,

一天内，

the broken ship was lost to the deep.

破船沉入深海。

With their ship gone,

船没了，

the 21 survivors squeezed into three whaleboats, 21

个幸存者挤在了三艘小艇子上，

which now became their lifeboats.

他们的生命之舟。

The men salvaged what they could,

他们尽可能搜捕，

but they were woefully ill-equipped

但他们缺少工具

for the trials that lay ahead.

因之前的遭遇。

The survivors of the ***** were in virtually unexplored waters, *****

的幸存者在未知水域，

2,000 miles west of South America on the equator,

位于赤道南美洗2，000英里，

almost as far from land as it's possible to be.

几乎离陆地最远的地方。

They were about to find out just how challenging survival in the South Pacific can be.

他们将发现在南太平洋生存下来是多么具有挑战的事情。
