My grandfather, Vaiangina Sikahema Unga was one of the survivors from the ship Tuaikaepau that got shipwrecked on the Minerva Reef south of Fiji back in 1962. He eventually passed away in 2003 but will always be remembered for his resilience, strength and courage for surviving this ordeal. My family and I miss him very much. Thank you for posting this video clip!
