The Wanderer was a tramp steamer belonging to movie director Carl Denham, and he used it to sail to many exotic locations that he used for his films. At one point, it took a six-week voyage to the mythical Skull Mountain Island. Once the ship arrived, Denham took fourteen men to the island, while another fourteen stayed behind on the ship. the same night the team returned, actress Ann Darrow was kidnapped by the Skull Island natives. When this was discovered, Englehorn called for an armed assault on the island, in which many sailors participated. A party of crewmen were then sent into the jungles beyond the Skull Island Wall, while Englehorn and another group set up camp at the Wall's base to wait for Darrow if she returned. Days later, the crew was waiting near the coast when Kong came to attack the coastal village. Denham was able to incapacitate the beast with gas bombs. He then convinced its captain, Captain Englehorn, to take the ape back to New York.
