Bregman gives two names (Stephen and David) without surnames that are not present in the contemporary (Lavin, 1966) account of the rescue. I am trying to tie the names to the 1966 names based on clues present in the two sources. Mliu92 ( talk) 15:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Source | Sione | Stephen | Kolo | David | Luke | Mano |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bregman (2020) | (joked about leg) | (broken leg) | (guitar) | Mano Totau | ||
Bregman ( 2019) | (Sione Fataua, the oldest; burned leg on gas stove aboard stolen whaler) | (swam to Warner's ship, perfect English) | (the youngest, knew how to drive a boat) | |||
Lavin (1966) | Sione Fataua, 17 | Tevita Fatai, 18? | Kolo Fekitoa, 18 | Tevita Fefita Siolaʻa, 16? | Luke Veikoso, 18 | Sione Filipe Totau, 17 |
@ Mliu92:, you reverted my edit saying the source does not support that it was Tupou IV who struck up a friendship with Peter Warner. With all due respect, I think the source was pretty clear that it was Tupou IV and not Tupou V.
The subsequent rescue of the castaways began a friendship with the King of Tonga who in gratitude granted Peter the rights to fish Tonga's territorial waters...A lifelong friendship began between the King of Tonga, Peter and the Warner family...Peter said his advice to his friend the King, if he were alive today...
Quotes above make it apparent that Warner's friendship is with Tupou IV, not Tupou V. So I'm restoring my edit. Quidquidlatetadparebit ( talk) 16:23, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
The article mentions that Sione Fataua lives in Salt Lake City, but I ran across another source saying he had since moved to Oakland CA. I haven't looked into this in detail. Stay ( talk) 23:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
