Survive Abandoning Ship

Offered By Viking ~

Having the right safety equip- ment aboard is the most effective way of reducing the life-threatening aspects of abandoning ship at sea.

Add a thorough knowledge of sur- vival techniques and the possibili- ties of living to tell about such an adventure increase dramatically.

A new, highly authoritative source for information on both these subjects is now available. The book- let, "Safety at Sea," was originally published by Viking Life Saving

Equipment Co. for distribution in the Scandinavian countries, but re- quests for an international edition from authorities, training schools, shipowners and operators have re- sulted in the availability of an En- glish-language version.

The author is J.E. Unden, Com- mander s.g. of the Royal Danish

Navy. In 75 pages of factual text, and a multitude of photos and illus- trations, he covers all facets of emergency abandonment of ship and subsequent survival at sea. In- cluded are methods of properly leaving the ship, launching and us- ing life rafts, distress signals, cold water survival, surviving on emer- gency rations, preparing for helicop- ter rescue, as well as how to rescue survivors from life rafts and boats.

Information and photos are also provided on modern, state-of-the- art lifesaving equipment and their proper use.

The information contained in "Safety at Sea" is applicable to the operation of commercial vessels and large pleasure craft.

Copies of "Safety at Sea" are available from Viking Life Saving

Equipment (America), Inc., 38 N.W. 11th Street, Miami, Fla. 33136. The cost is $9.50, including mailing and service charges. Special quantity prices are available to accredited marine training schools and organi- zations.
