A life bag - life saving device, WW1
An ingenious invention by a young Norwegian, Mr John L. Edmund to enable passengers on board ships wrecked or torpedoed to keep afloat until the arrival of help. It looked like a bag but opened out into a waterproof suit which, it claimed, would keep its owner afloat in any sea for several days. Food could be stored in a compartment to last too, " in short, an emergency hotel." Date: 1915
