  • This video went viral on Gabon

  • in order to do this u got to have: balls, be a mechanic , have some money,

  • Great story - got hold of the book from Australia "the Other Half of Half Safe" a great read and excellent story. Very tough journey, never to be repeated I think...

  • Guildford Grammer School principal: "Ben Carlin, intrepid explorer, provides a fantastic role model for young men today". Too right!

  • P.S. to my comment...

    At my suggestion, two of my Tokyo friends visited the Half-Safe in Perth last year, and took pictures of themselves posing in front of it.

    It brought back memories of my 4 months on the monster...May 3 to Sept 3, 1957, the time it took us to go from Tokyo to Anchorage.

  • Glad this is on here for histories sake.

  • excellent..just bought an old 1960s large plastic battery operated model of Half Safe, with the original WW2 front, rather than the rebuilt pointed boat type front..posting video of it soon.

  • Did you ever post your model of "Half Safe?" I'd love to see it!

    Thanks,

    Paul
