This book is aimed at the training of all crew to cope with the traumatic events of the loss of the ship, and also is worthwhile reading for any personnel seriously contemplating an ocean voyage in a vessel of any size from yacht to ocean liner who will be responsible for their own safety and that of others in an emergency. It would also be a worthwhile addition to the grab bag in case of emergency.
