The image also emphasizes the importance of staying calm and working together as a team to increase the chances of survival. This powerful and evocative image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of seamen during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the simple but vital rules that can mean the difference between life and death in the face of danger.
