On December 5, 1664, a ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales. Of its 81 passengers, the sole survivor was a lucky fellow named Hugh Williams.

On December 5, 1785, 121 years later, another ship sank in the Menai Strait. All aboard perished… except one. His name was Hugh Williams.

On December 5, 1860, 75 years later, yet another ship, a small 25-passenger vessel, sank in the Menai Strait. Once again, there was only one survivor. And once again, his name was Hugh Williams.

So if you’re ever going sailing in Wales on December 5, I won’t be offended if you forget to invite me.
