Safety first. New lifesaving raft developed and tried out year 1919.


100 years ago. 


The year is 1919 and Mr Edvard Källström has invented a liferaft that can carry 30 people. It´s constructed of one cm wood covered of oiled-in linnen cloth. 
It´s the first of it´s kind and it is here tried out in the centre of Stockholm on the waters running through the capitol close to the royal castle.
At this time, some seven years after the Titanic disaster, safety at sea is something that inspires inventors into developing life saving items, even in Sweden.
