Cornell Manual for Lifeboat men, Able Seamen, & QMED, 2nd edition - Book

Completely updated to reflect current information and procedures. Safety practices for lifeboat operations, survival procedures, rescue and evacuation details, firefighting, and first aid. Sample multiple-choice questions.

The Cornell Manual for Lifeboatmen, Able Seamen and Qualified Members of the Engine Department, by John M. Keever, prepares mariners for the U.S. Coast Guard examinations for those ratings. Cornell Maritime Press first published the manual in 1984 as a replacement for the Coast Guard's own CG-176 study guide.

This 2nd edition, published in 2004, brings the material up to date for current candidates. It is a standard study aid for deck and engine ratings working toward lifeboatman, AB or QMED endorsements.
