* ''WesternAnimation/AThousandAndOneAmericas'': In the ninth episode, Chris meets a man whose grandfather fell victim of this trope during his sea travel from Japan to Ecuador. The story goes as follows: The man's grandfather led a group of fishermen and their wives to sail the seas with canoes so they could discover new lands and inhabit them, which means they had to travel across the wild, dangerous Pacific Ocean. During the third day of the travel, a violent sea storm overcame them and, in the next day's morning, they were completely adrift and with many lives and resources lost. They had to soldier on and resume their trip, finally arriving the coasts where the Valdivia tribe lived.
