She Wrote "Day 9" on a Card - Rescued Nine Days Later

The moment Beverly Young pulled a laminated card from Pelican Shelf mud, seven words scrawled on the back hinted at a woman alone at sea, out of water, and counting days: "Day 9. Water gone. F.V. July 11." How did a dry, sharp-edged card from a drifting life-raft reach a Carolina marsh and lead to a rescue that began with a mismatched EPIRB signal - and who was Frances Vickers when she wrote those lines?
In this episode, we follow the found card from discovery to rescue and trace the sequence of events on Frances Vickers's voyage that produced it. You will hear how routine seamanship, a functioning EPIRB, and a barcode of procedures intersected with misidentification and time at sea - could a single scrap of paper change a search's outcome?
Person: Beverly Young
Person: Frances Vickers
Vessel: Celia Rose
Date: July 2-11, 2011
Location: Pelican Shelf Wildlife Preserve, four miles south of Beaufort Inlet
- At 7:42 AM on July 19, 2011, Beverly Young found a laminated safety card in the cordgrass at Pelican Shelf.
- The back of the card bore seven words in ballpoint pen: "Day 9. Water gone. F.V. July 11."
- Frances Vickers launched Celia Rose at 5:15 AM on July 2 and was 46 years old that summer.
- Frances activated her EPIRB in the water at 4:12 AM on July 6 after the mast punched through the hull and she deployed the life raft at 4:05 AM.
- The EPIRB registered a position about 60 miles southeast of Cape Lookout and initially pulled up the vessel name Adelaide, which was later found undamaged at its dock.
