L’Égaré II
L’Égaré II was the name of a raft used by a French crew in 1956 to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The expedition, led by Henri Beaudout, departed from Halifax, Nova Scotia, arriving 88 days later at Falmouth, England.
==Henri Beaudout==
Henri Beaudout, originally from Limoges, France, emigrated to Montreal, Canada, in 1952. In an effort to avoid dwelling on painful memories of war, Beaudout struck the idea of founding an explorers club. To do so, he felt it necessary to first undertake some kind of endeavour that would qualify him for such a club. He began considering a trans-Atlantic crossing from Canada to Europe. As the Atlantic Ocean had already been crossed by boats, he knew such a journey somehow needed to be unique. After three years studying the prevailing winds, currents, and meteorological conditions of the north Atlantic, he concluded that a west-to-east crossing would be possible, especially using the northern extension of the Gulf Stream known as the North Atlantic Drift. He eventually decided on using a raft.
