Survival Guide for the Mariner

This essential guide covers the knowledge and skills required to survive a disaster at sea, from preparation to search and rescue. Seafarers must be prepared to cope with the worst situations that the sea can offer. In this new edition of Survival Guide for the Mariner, author Robert J. Meurn gives seamen the most up-to-date information on avoiding and dealing with dangers at sea. Topics include abandon ship procedures, crew overboard, search and rescue techniques, and survival methods. Since this book can be used as a text for those preparing to be Coast Guard certified lifeboatmen, the appendices contain lifeboat, rescue boat, and rigid life raft equipment descriptions, inspection guidelines, and sample Coast Guard examination questions and answers.
