Seafarers must be prepared to cope with the worst situations that the sea can offer. In this updated edition of Survival Guide for the Mariner, author and marine transportation professor emeritus Rober J. Meurn gives seamen the most up-to-date information in avoiding and dealing with dangers at sea.

Topics include abandon ship procedures, crew overboard, search and rescue techniques, and survival methods. Since this book can be used as a text for those preparing to be Coast Guard certified lifeboatmen, the appendices contain lifeboat, rescue boat, and rigid life raft equipment descriptions, inspection guidelines, and sample Coast Guard examination questions and answers.

Robert J. Meurn is professor emeritus in Marine Transportation at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in nautical science from the academy and his Master of Arts in higher education from George Washington University.
