| Description | 80-CF-827-3-10: Life-Saving Equipment. Emergency Fishing Kit, April 19, 1943. No longer do castaways on a life raft need to fear starvation and thirst. A simple, compact, complete, and fool-proof Emergency Fishing Kit is now standard equipment on all lifeboats, rafts, and planes of Navy, Army, and Merchant Marine. Hooks, lines, lures, spear, bait, and a net provide the means to catch food. In addition, the flesh of fish can be squeezed to provide drinking fluid. The kit was originated by Gifford Pinchot and developed by Michael Lerner, S. Kip Farrington, and Philip Wylie. Shown: The two types of kits are here. The lighter one, top, is designed for use on rubber boats carried by airplanes while the standard kit, below, is carried by ship’s lifeboats and rafts. U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/05/03). |
