History
Kong: Skull Island
Roughly ten years before 1944, the Wanderer washed up on Skull Island. What happened to its crew is unknown, but the Iwi tribe began to use it as a temple in which they housed murals depicting their history and how they came under the protection of the Kong.

The Wanderer was a tramp steamer belonging to movie director Carl Denham, and he used it to sail to many exotic locations. At one point, it took a six-week voyage to the mythical Skull Mountain Island. Once they arrived, Denham took fourteen men to the island, while another fourteen stayed behind on the ship. Days later, the crew waited 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.
