| Lost at Sea | comment |
A character or characters finds themselves adrift on the ocean without a means of getting to shore and little to no food or drinkable water. Usually, this is the result of a storm at sea, and if the characters in question are lucky they'll be in a lifeboat. If not they'll be floating on a piece of driftwood with nothing except the clothes on their back. One or more of the characters may start hallucinating or acting crazy, or the survivors may start to argue over the remaining supplies while they wait to be rescued or manage to find land. If things get really bad, Cold Equation or No Party Like a Donner Party may come into play. Often happens in stories about Wooden Ships and Iron Men. May lead to being marooned on a "Far Side" Island. |

Subject of numerous gags in The Far Side. A group of castaways in a raft draw straws to see who gets eaten, and one of the winners is a dog. A guy in a rubber raft has his TV with him, and is watching a news report about how that particular brand of raft is being recalled because they all spring leaks and slowly deflate. A couple in a raft are attacked by navy ants. "Well, we might as well put it on board - although I'm not sure what use we'll have for a box of rusty nails, broken glass and throwing darts." |

Arrow. This happens to Oliver Queen after the Queen's Gambit sinks. After several days adrift they start running out of water, so his father murders the other man in the liferaft and then shoots himself, so his son will survive. It also happens twice to Sara Lance; the first time she's 'rescued' by Mad Scientist Dr. Ivo, the second time by Nyssa Al-Ghul of the League of Assassins. | |

A Green Arrow comic had an adventure end with the group stuck on a lifeboat miles from any shore. This would have been a small issue, if not for the fact that Connor was badly wounded. With no way to get him any medical help before he bled out, Ollie stands up in the lifeboat and cries out at the top of his lungs: "CLAAAAAARRRRK!!!!" A second later, the Man of Steel shows up to carry Connor to the nearest hospital while the rest get themselves back to dry land. | |

The third-season Hawaii Five-0 episode, "Lana I Ka Moana" (whose title is Hawaiian for "Adrift") partially employs this trope when it starts with Danny and McGarrett getting their boat hijacked on a fishing trip, far enough offshore that it's no longer visible. The thief leaves them in the dinghy they found him in, which no longer has a working motor, and although it seems eminently possible they can save themselves (and eventually they do), at first Danny sees their situation as hopeless. | |

On November 20, 1820, the American whaling ship Essex was sunk on the high seas after being attacked by a sperm whale it had been hunting, which rammed the ship, not once, but twice! While the ship sank slow enough for the crew to load up a fair amount of provisions and supplies before evacuating the Essex on the ship's whaleboats, their situation was still critical. They eventually found the uninhabited Henderson island, which contained a fresh water source, but soon it became clear that island did not have enough wildlife or edible vegetation to support 20 men. 17 of them returned to the whaleboats and set out again for the sea, while three decided to stay on Henderson island. On the boats, the provisions eventually ran out and the men became too weak to sail them, resulting the boats drifting out away and out of sight of each other. Eventually, the men on board were forced to resort to cannibalism of dead crewmen in order to survive. On one of the boats, their situation become so desperate that the crew decided they couldn't wait for someone to die naturally. They draw straws to see who would die, and then drew straws again to determine who the executioner would be. Only 8 of the 20-man crew would survive the hellish voyage (2 boats containing 5 survivors and the three men on Henderson Island were found and rescued by passing ships), which would serve as inspiration for author Herman Melville's famous novel Moby-Dick. Ironically, the crew had declined to attempt to sail their boats to the closest landmass after the initial sinking, the Marquesas Islands, because those islands were rumored to be inhabited by cannibals. | |

Married... with Children: In the two part episode. "Ship Happens'', Al, Peg, Marcy and Jefferson go on a cruise aboard the S.S. Sea Dodge that's a fitness cruise for fat women. At night however, the crew participates in certain "after-hours activities" (as described by Gretchen, the aerobics instructor). After the 6:30 lockdown, one of the fat women smells the jerk chicken and tries to cut through the deck with a blowtorch, causing the ship to sink. While all of the other passengers and crew were safely accounted for, Al, Peg, Marcy, Jefferson, a fat woman named Kay (who caused the boat to sink) and Gilbert Gottfried wind up stranded on a life raft in the middle of the ocean. They (save for Al who instead swam for it rather than hear Peg tell him she loves him) eventually end up being saved by some corrupt congressmen using taxpayers' money for a yacht. | |

Happens to many many people in Black Tide Rising. The entire first two books (and some of the third) focus on the main characters rescuing people from this situation. In many cases they are too late to save them, finding only people who have already died from lack of food or water. The interesting variation of this is that many of the people they go to rescue are on large ships like US Navy and pleasure cruise ships, where the people are trapped in their cabins with limited food and water but no resupply. | |

By the end of the game he's defeated the Nightmares and caused a Dream Apocalypse, but he's still stranded in the middle of nowhere with nobody but a psychedelic whale and a couple of seagulls to keep him company. That said, seagulls don't stray far from land, giving hope for his immediate future. | |

The Island of Doctor Moreau also begins this way. In Edward Prendick's case, he's in the Pacific. He initially has a couple of fellow survivors with him, but they get into a fight after it's suggested they turn to cannibalism to survive. The two fall overboard and drown, leaving Prendick alone. Prendick is eventually picked up by a passing ship, but in the interim has gone nearly insane from sunstroke and lack of food. | |

Occurs in Penguins of Madagascar, after Dave escapes with Private captured and the penguins are adrift in a metal bowl without food and water. Subverted when it is revealed they're being towed by the North Wind, who are relaxing five feet away in an inflatable pontoon dining on fine food and drink. | |

Horatio Hornblower: In "The Even Chance", it happened to Archie Kennedy. It was no accident. He had an epileptic fit during a covert raid and Hornblower had to clunk him unconscious, and his tormentor untied the boat he was in an attempt to murder him. The boat drifts away and he's lost and presumed dead. He appears again in "The Duchess and the Devil". The audience doesn't know much about the period when he was Lost at Sea as the focus is always on Hornblower. | |

At the beginning of The Curse of Monkey Island, Guybrush is adrift at sea on a bumper car after escaping from the Carnival of the Damned after the end of the last game. And to continue it as a gag, literally everything he lists would be nice to have floats by him but he never notices due to his writing. Which follows as: fresh water (a bottle of purified spring water), fresh fruit to fight off scurvy (a crate filled with various fruit), bananas (a banana crate), and finally "I might as well wish for a chicken and a big barrel of Grog for all the good it'll do me" (the trope page image). He does notice the pitched battle, though, because the cannon fire breaks his reverie. |

In the Family Guy episode "The Perfect Castaway", Peter, Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland are castaways after Peter's fishing boat is destroyed in a hurricane, escaping on a raft made from Quagmire's inflatable doll collection. Peter eats Joe's legs up to his knees before they find a deserted island. They are rescued several months later by a cruise ship that passes by while the men are attempting to have an orgy. | |

Actually happens, of all people, to Captain Aubrey of the Aubrey-Maturin saga. He has to rescue Dr. Maturin when the latter falls out of the Surprise's great cabin, but since the two are unable to grab onto the ship's boats, they are left to float and swim for a considerable period of time till they are picked up by a pahi boat piloted by some rather hostile lady islanders. | |

Illusion of Gaia has a shipwreck sequence with multiple rounds of Controllable Helplessness where there is little to do but have the protagonist putter around his makeshift raft and wait for a hidden timer to run out. Assumably the goal is to make the audience sympathize with the main characters and their boredom, but there is such a thing as overdoing it. | |

The Hands of the Emperor: After the Fall of Astandalas Cliopher undertook the long and arduous journey back to his home on the islands, crossing the ocean in a self-built boat. Lacking any objects of navigation except for a rather basic knowledge of the stars, he got lost whenever a storm blew him of his (already shaky) course. | |
