No Mr Marcus it is not for escaping the may have built
small crafts. It is for the 14 days travel / 85 km a day
that they may have used them.

Building a recue boat from wreckage to sail to safety is something
quite different to building a boat or boats from fresh materials
on the shore to trek 1000 miles inland up a river with strong
currents, falls and rapids.

So you have not provided any precedents, sorry.

To build some small crafts when at the ships,
intended for use during a short period,
would be no problem for 30 men.
Especially since 22 of them was from
Norway.
