Episode 126: The Remarkable Survival Story of Poon Lim.
This week we discuss the nearly impossible survival story of Poon Lim.
On November 23 of 1942, Lin was serving as a steward on the SS Benlomond, a British cargo ship.
Unfortunately, a German submarine torpedoed the Benlomond. This sent the vessel and it’s crew into the depths of the south Atlantic. From there, Lin’s story only gets crazier.
After two hours in the ocean, he managed to make his way onboard an eight-foot wooden raft. He’d stay on that very raft for 133 days. That was, until he was found by three fishermen off of the coast of Brazil.
