Compare Sole Survivor by Ruthanne Lum McCunn, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

On November 23, 1942, German U-Boats torpedoed the British ship Benlomond and it sank in the Atlantic in two minutes. The sole survivor was a second steward named Poon Lim, who, with no knowledge of the sea, managed to stay alive for 133 days on a small wooden raft. Finally rescued at the mouth of the Amazon River, Poon was hailed as the \"World's Champion Survivor.\" He still holds the Guinness World Record for survival at sea. | Sole Survivor by Ruthanne Lum McCunn, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
