nesredep Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hello , Very nice pictures of life boats and the one man life boat carrying bag !Here I have 2 pictures of the pre ware and very early war u-boat lifeboat float made by Marks . This was a large square rubber canvas float that was held in a round container with a lid that could be remotely opended from inside the u-boat in case of the need to abandon ship in a hurry . This container was to the port side of the ship near the deck gun , many books show this round lid as being used for the ready ammo locker . This is incorrect as you can see in the second picture u-boat crewmen loading the raft back into it's round container .Best Regards, JoeHello!JoeAmazing Photo Yoy share,this is new to me.All the best Nesredep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
