Summary

[edit]
Description 80-G-40696: The Navy’s new official fishing kit, which is being placed in life-saving craft carried by all U.S. Navy ships and all U.S. merchant vessels of 3,000 tons or more. Designed by a group of well-known fishermen serving as advisors to the Life Saving Board of the Navy and Coast Guard, the kit consists of a “bib-apron” canvas roll with a dozen pockets containing fishing rigs of various types, a small harpoon, a knife and a whetstone equipped with buoyant handles, a pair of canvas gloves, and directions printed on waterproof paper to assist lifeboat occupants in the attempt to catch fish and birds at sea. The whole kit is packed into a waterproof, key-opening can. A similar kit, lighter in weight, has been designed for airplane floats. Photograph released February 1943. U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/06/07).
