133 Days Adrift

The longest solo survival on a life raft.

133 Days Adrift
When his British merchant ship was sunk by a German U-boat in 1942, Chinese sailor Poon Lim was the sole survivor. He endured a record-breaking 133 days alone on a small wooden raft in the South Atlantic. He survived by catching fish with a nail, capturing birds, and drinking rainwater until he was finally rescued off the coast of Brazil.
