Rescues

Through the series of Gilligan's Island, The Castaways have had numerous chances to be rescued. Some of these chances have involved numerous visitors to The Island who failed to do so because they had ulterior motives (Jonathan Kincaid, Dr. Boris Balinkoff, Tongo the Ape Man, The Mosquitoes...) or inadequate means to re-locate the island (Erika Tiffany Smith, Wrongway Feldman...). Others have had more sincere intentions but were way-laid by circumstance, like Lord Beasley Waterford and President Rodriguez. However, most of the fouled-up rescue attempts have been foiled by the Castaways themselves, mostly Gilligan.
