How did a guitarist save an entire cruise ship?
Today we are covering the shocking story of Moss Hills, a Zimbabwean guitarist who became an unexpected hero. Imagine this: the Oceanos cruise ship begins sinking off the treacherous coast of South Africa. With no help from the captain or crew, it was Moss Hills who stepped up, coordinating a daring rescue that saved 571 lives.
This isn’t just a tale of bravery—it’s a deep dive into maritime history, Zimbabwe’s rich cultural legacy, and what happens when someone rises to the occasion against all odds. From exploring Zimbabwe’s fascinating past to recounting the chaos aboard the Oceanos sinking, this episode will leave you on the edge of your seat. Plus, we discuss everything from Great Zimbabwe to fun facts about caves and waterfalls!
