Summary[edit]

Description 80-CF-827-3-9: 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: An instruction sheet printed on waterproof paper gives details as to the best use of the kit. U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/05/03).
