<HTML>Hi Alan,

So there were liferafts with just air filled drums for floatation. That means Eck was just unlucky when he tried to sink the rafts of the "Peleus".
I think the rafts on Dutch vessels were of the same construction with steel drums, but so far I can't get any confirmation.

Thanks for the info, Alan. It all helps.</HTML>
