According to The Daily Mirror, several people have had to endure the same fate as Chuck.
As the outlet reveals, one of the first stories about a woman who got stranded in the middle of nowhere had emerged as early as the 15th century.
19-year-old Marguerite de La Rocque was on a voyage to Newfoundland with her uncle when she made the deadly mistake of falling in love with a fellow passenger.
She and her lover had to disembark at the nearest port, the Isle of Demons near the Saint-Paul River in Quebec. She had her first baby there.
However, the story doesn't end on a positive note. After two years, Marguerite's lover and her child died, leaving her on her own.
Unlike Marguerite, Alexander Selkirk volunteered to leave what he thought to be a faulty ship — choosing to spend some time on the archipelago of Juan Fernandez, Chile, instead.
Little did he know that he would have to wait four years for the arrival of the next ship that was able to take him home.
