Sailor Rescued by Turtle Reaches Los Angeles
Chung Nam Kim, a 27 year old Korean sailor, says he fell from a Liberian ship near Nicaragua and rode a turtle for about two hours across the Pacific until the Citadel docked at Los Angeles Harbor. Swedish crew members confirm he rode the turtle, which ferried him through fog before he dismounted aboard the freighter. Immigration and customs inspectors greeted him as he arrived aboard the Citadel.
