In this photograph, taken on 19 October 1921, we witness a demonstration of life-saving devices aboard a training ship. The focal point of the image is a young sailor boy proudly showcasing his Kapok life-saving jacket. Positioned perfectly around his torso, this innovative piece of equipment not only serves as a means to ensure survival in treacherous waters but also doubles as a comfortable pillow. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the scene, transporting us back to an era where safety at sea was paramount. The Central News photographer expertly captures the essence of this moment, highlighting the importance placed on equipping sailors with reliable life jackets. As we delve into the details of this image, we notice additional life-saving tools scattered throughout the ship's deck. From buoyant belts to sturdy buoys, every element within reach emphasizes preparedness for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during maritime expeditions. This remarkable snapshot from Europeana Photography reminds us of the dedication and ingenuity displayed by sailors in their quest for safe navigation across vast oceans. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to human resilience amidst unpredictable waters
