Story

Jonathan has lived on St Helena since the nineteenth century and is cared for at Plantation House.

The archive notes that 2026 death rumors were false and that his age remains an estimate based on historical evidence.

Jonathan is archived because long life is also a story of care, evidence and public memory.
