The Man Who Survived 133 Days ALONE on a Raft ππ³
When a German U-boat torpedoed his ship in the middle of the Atlantic in 1942, Chinese sailor Poon Lim scrambled onto a tiny 8-foot wooden life raft. What followed became the greatest solo survival story in maritime history! With only a few days of emergency rations, Lim turned the raft into a makeshift survival workshop. He dismantled a flashlight spring to forge fishhooks, braided ropes into fishing lines, carved open tins into knives, and caught seabirds with his bare hands. For 133 grueling days, he battled dehydration, severe sunburn, shark attacks, and brutal ocean stormsβuntil Brazilian fishermen finally hauled him to safety. His survival record on a life raft still stands unbroken to this day. Could you survive four months alone in the middle of the ocean?
