Castaway Cay is a private island located in the Bahamas and serves as a port for the Disney cruise ship lines. It is located very close to Great Abaco Island that was formerly named Gorda Cay.
The Cay is based on a true story. While researching another book, Theodore read about an incident that happened in 1942. The Germans had torpedoed a Dutch ship, slicing it in half.
The story "The Cay" by Theodore Taylor takes place during World War II, specifically in 1942. It follows the journey of a young boy named Phillip who becomes stranded on a cay in the Caribbean after a German submarine attack on his ship.
The ship Phillip boarded and Timothy worked on was torpedoed and Timothy put Phillip on one of the life boats while he was unconcious. They ended up going to the cay and the story goes from there.
In chapters 1-4 of "The Cay," 11-year-old Phillip Enright and his mother are escaping Curacao just as World War II begins. Their ship is torpedoed, Phillip is separated from his mother, and is rescued by an older black man named Timothy from the water. Timothy and Phillip find themselves stranded on a small, uninhabited island in the Caribbean.
No Philip becomes blind during the shipwreck when a piece of the ship falls on him. So no Timothy isn't blind.
He was on the Cay for about 133 days.
