Description:"Written from the voice of experience . . . give this informative survival guide a try if you have any plans to go sailing" (Listverse,"Top 10 Bizarre Books"). Based on interviews with the crew and captain of a torpedoed tanker who survived nineteen days in a lifeboat in heavy seas and scorching tropical sun, How to Abandon Ship was written to save the lives of seamen during World War II. By providing a commonsense, organized, no-panic approach to getting off torpedoed ships safely and, perhaps more importantly, surviving later, it can still be used to save lives today. Former schooner captain and author Twain Braden updates this solid and useful advice with a foreword addressing today's technology.
