In Chapter 3 of "The Cay," the s.s. Hato, the ship that Phillip and his mother are on, is torpedoed by a German U-boat while they are traveling through the Caribbean during World War II. The explosion causes panic and chaos on board, leading Phillip to be separated from his mother as he is thrown overboard. He eventually finds himself alone on a raft, drifting at sea, which sets the stage for his subsequent adventures with the older man, Timothy.

I don't know but it did sink. HAHA HEHE HOHO love me hate me Happyhot970: That was mean. This is the real answer: The S.S. Hato was torpedoed on 6 April, 1942. This is said in the opening of Chapter 3.
In the novel "The Cay" by Theodore Taylor, the SS Hato is shipwrecked during World War II, leaving a young boy named Phillip and an elderly black man named Timothy stranded on a small cay. The SS Empire Tern is a fictional Nazi torpedo boat that attacks and sinks the Hato. This event sets the stage for the survival story that unfolds on the cay.
yes, it was if you read the cay it would make more sense....but the ss hato was a german boat that went from the island of curacao to the united states of America. this boat was used for mostly cargo but can bring passengers along.
the ship had already sunk a long time ago
Curcao, the ss hato, the devil's mouth, phillip's house, ocean, the cay. I'm sorry if these didn't help I need the same answer to your question too. But the ones I said are some of them. I hope I helped!
A boat
1967:)
Yes the german submarines bombed the S.S Hato
In "The Cay" by Theodore Taylor, the SS Hato stops in Panama to refuel and pick up supplies before continuing its journey to the United States. The stop is necessary because the ship is not equipped to travel directly from Curacao to the U.S. without refueling. This brief pause serves as a plot point that ultimately leads to the ship's sinking and the main characters' subsequent struggle for survival on the deserted island.
We can't put pictures on this sight.
Oh, dude, the SS Hatohhh... You mean the SS Lulworth Hill, right? It got attacked off the coast of Cape Cod in 1918. Like, not the best vacation spot, I guess. But hey, at least it made history, right?
