The 1962 escape is a masterclass in patience and improvisation. Soap, cement dust, spoons, raincoats — ordinary items, extraordinary timing.
Toolkit & Materials
| Item | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spoon/metal shards | Chip concrete | Hidden, disguised in the cell |
| Cardboard + paint | Camouflage vent | Mask fresh dust and gaps |
| Vacuum motor parts | Drill substitute | Scavenged from prison shop |
| Soap, toilet paper | Dummy head binder | Lightweight mold base |
| Paint, hair clippings | Dummy realism | Borrowed from barbershop bins |
| Raincoats + glue | Raft + life vests | Heat‑sealed seams |
Method (Step‑by‑Step)
- Enlarge vent behind sink — slow chipping, masked by music/horns.
- Slip into the utility corridor — stash tools, test timing.
- Build dummy heads and stage bedding to pass counts.
- Reach the roof/utility spaces — collect/assemble raincoat raft.
- Time departure with ambient noise and minimal moonlight.
Into the Bay
- Cold (≈10–13°C), strong currents, shipping lanes.
- Launch point and drift patterns still debated.
- Evidence scattered: paddle, life vest, family letters, photo hints.
Did They Make It?
- Officially: no proof of survival.
- Unofficially: periodic leads keep the story open.
- Investigators still model tides and debris drift to re‑test hypotheses.
Visitor Checklist
- Study a vent hole up close.
- Find a roof/ceiling route marker.
- Pair the audio narration with these artifacts.
