Unsinkable lifeboat designed for ships and passengers
A recent report from Elbenstock Germany details an unsinkable and collapsible lifeboat invented in Copenhagen. The boat folds and can be launched without davits, with crossbeams extending to create a full lifeboat stocked with corn, bread, and water. It is said to withstand serious damage and carry a full complement. The design uses a pontoon hull with watertight compartments and a foldable superstructure enclosed by a windproof cover. Kapok cushions and a wood or iron frame provide buoyancy and strength.
