The Australian-based expedition cruiser Orion stands by off Kennedy Island while passengers enjoy a visit to Kennedy Island -- named for a famous castaway, John F. Kennedy, who swam ashore here with ten fellow crew members in 1943 when a Japanese destroyer rammed their PT-109 torpedo boat, Solomon Islands.
