O que este vídeo aborda
A 40-foot boat, *Amazon*, suffers a catastrophic rudder failure while cruising the Abrolhos Islands off Western Australia.▶ 8:29 After striking a cray pot, the vessel’s rudder blade shears off, forcing the crew to hot-wire the ignition and use a towed dinghy as an improvised steering mechanism to navigate 40 nautical miles back to port.▶ 11:46 During the repair attempt at anchor, the crew encounters a tiger shark while diving to unbolt the damaged rudder.▶ 9:19 The crew later discovers that occupants of a nearby catamaran killed the same tiger shark to harvest its jaws as a trophy.▶ 15:27 The incident prompts a reflection on ocean conservation, the ethics of spearfishing, and the legal protections for tiger sharks in Western Australian waters. The crew successfully reaches the mainland by steering the vessel from the towed dinghy, though the boat requires a haul-out for a full rudder replacement.▶ 10:27
