A Reminder

As you might imagine, Paul Burgoyne felt extremely grateful to have made it out of the ocean alive. However, he had lost hundreds of personal and meaningful possessions in the wreck, not just photos. At first, Burgoyne felt depressed and hurt at a loss. Still, in time, the sailor grew to accept everything that happened that day. After all, it was the price of his survival.

Still, out of all the objects he had lost, Burgoyne felt most heartbroken about his camera. While other possessions could be replaced, he could not recreate the pictures. For years, Burgoyne had assumed those memories were gone. So you can imagine how incredible he felt when the Coast Guard called!
