Summary edit
| Description |
English: This is a replica life jacket similar to those on the Titanic. There are only 14 Titanic lifejackets left in the world from a total of 3560 carried on board, with a few other pieces such as cork and canvas scraps joining them. Most of them are in private collectons. The last one sold at auction for $ 66,000, around £45,000.
It is made of a canvas-type linen covering cork. Unlike life jackets today, they are surprisingly heavy, however, they were very buoyant. Unfortunately, the design was such that when a someone fell or jumped from the ship, it was possible for the person's head to hit the cork and break his or her neck.
Français : Ceci est un gilet de sauvetage semblable à ceux sur le Titanic. Il y a seulement neuf gilets de sauvetage de ce type dans le monde détenus par des collectionneurs privés. Le dernier vendu à une vente aux enchères a été vendue à 66,000 $, 45,000£. Il est fait d'un tissu de toile recouvrant du liège. Contrairement aux gilets de sauvetage aujourd'hui, le gilet en liège est étonnamment lourd avec une bonne flottaison. Malheureusement, la conception était tel que quand un quelqu'un homme est tombé du bateau ou saute du bateau, la tête est frapper violemment par le liège du gilets de sauvetage et risque de casser le cou de la personne. |
