CAT NEWS Unsinkable Sam

Unsinkable Sam is the extraordinary true story of a ship’s cat who refused to go down. From the German battleship Bismarck to British vessels HMS Cossack and HMS Ark Royal, Sam’s journey is one of chaos, courage and pure feline resilience. Pulled from the water time and time again, this black-and-white cat became a symbol of survival in the darkest days of naval warfare. In this Nightline Australian History Bedtime Story, Cheralyn Darcey brings to life the tale of a cat who witnessed history from the deck of warships, drifting through danger and destiny with nine lives well and truly tested. Because sometimes, the most remarkable wartime hero isn’t human at all. Cat News, a feature of The Nightline with Cheralyn Darcey every weeknight. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
