Anthony Smith, (1926-2014) was a British author, explorer and adventurer who most notably voyaged across the Atlantic Ocean on a sail-powered raft in his mid-80's. This is an account of his first expedition. Smith went to Persia as a zoologist to explore the Qanat underground irrigation tunnels. The expedition resulted in a species of fish that he discovered being named after him.
