Less well known than other works by French novelist Jules Verne, La Jangada (The Giant Raft) tells the story of a family's 19th-century journey down the Amazon River on a traditional raft for a wedding. Built from 2018 to 2019, this namesake ship is a 95- by 39-foot catamaran (29 x 10 m) decorated with Tabebuia and cedar woods. The ship's 4.26-foot draft (1.3 m) allows easy navigation along rivers and hidden tributaries.
