The Zodiacs

While wandering around the ship yesterday we found these tucked into one of the areas. Peggy knew all about these things. They are called Zodiacs and are a special form of life boat. They only hold a few people. As you can see, they open from the middle and 6-8 people can get aboard. She learned this by listening to the accounts of the Somali pirate stories. In one of the pirate attacks, the crew was put ashore on zodiacs. Quite interesting. The cranes are what launch them overboard.
