Tiburón Island Tragedy

The Tiburón Island Tragedy occurred in 1905 when three members of a small American gold prospecting expedition went missing in the Sonoran Desert near Tiburón Island. At the time, Tiburon was inhabited by the Seri natives. The members of the expedition are believed to have perished of starvation and thirst. A fourth member of the expedition survived.[1][2][3][4]
