Ave, Dan,
Again, thank you from Jaqui and I for all the info. It is nice to know that a relatively fit person could stay afloat even wearing chain....at least until they could get to some piece of floating debris. BTW, Dan, did you try to get the mail off in the water.? The reason, I'm asking is that there was a book done in English called "Bireme" about the making of a diorama of a Republican and Carthaginian Bireme seafight and most of the survivors of the Carthaginian ship seem to have stripped down to their underwear. Again, Thanks for the infor.
Salve,
