In 1884, 46 years after Poe's novel was published, a new shipwreck shared many similarities with that story: after the sinking of their yacht Mignonette on the way to Australia, Captain Tom Dudley and three sailors were stranded in a dinghy in the Pacific Ocean. In January 1846, a second ship named "Francis Spaight" sank, and took a man named Richard Parker down with it. Survivors of the wreck were known to have practiced cannibalism in order to survive.
