Folder: S.F. Ships-Life Rafts.
Written on back: "Unsinkable life raft provided for victory ships: Los Angeles, Calif... The new life-rafts installed on one of America's new Victory ships is shown above. They are released by a manually-operated trigger and also have an automatic device actuated by water pressure which launches them if the ship goes down. They are tested by lifting them 45-feet above the water on a crane. They're then dropped in several different positions, endways, sideways, 'belly-flopper'. If they survive that, they'll outlast anything. 4/27/44. Note: For release Wednesday May 3, 1944."
