RANTICALLY comes the dreaded distress call of the Sea...S-O-S—S-O-S. Anxious hours of suspense. .. then the wel- come message... ‘*Passengers and crew picked up by §:S.° = AM sate.” The hazards of navigation demand nothing short of adequate and approved lifeboat equip- ment if the lives of passengers are to be prop- erly safeguarded... but, the most modern equipment is of little use in the emergency should the ropes fail in strength, or foulin run- ning through the blocks! A well trained crew, frequent boat drills, and the use of Plymouth Ship Brand Manila Rope for davit falls, all combine to further promote con- fidence in the marine industry and development of water transportation. And as an added precaution, a rigid schedule of inspection of all boat falls should be maintained, and replacements made periodically. Wherever rope plays an important part in safeguarding human lives... .there you will find Plymouth Ship Brand Manila Rope.
