An Improvement on Lifesaving Apparatus

Abstract

Our Rules of Ship's Lifesaving Appliances, under the provisions of 1960 International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, are already out of keeping with the present state of affairs that those monstrous and highly efficient or automatic controlled vessles are appearing rapidly. There is no denying the fact that many lives were lost in such enormous vessel disaster. Accordingly the auther had a try at the improvement on lifesaving apparatus with reference to the answers of an opinionaire from seamen. That is a Turtle-boat, which has both functions of lifeboat and lifejacket. And the author tried to design a new type lifesaving apparatus named Kappa-boat, too.
