Model of a Life Buoy, A. Scheerboom, c. 1826 demonstration model Model of a life buoy with hoop, incomplete. The buoy is a ring made of piping covered with bladder and tacked tarpaulin; A hoop is attached around the ring, in which a drowning person can stand standing. A number of strings or light sticks must be attached to the buoy with cork or other floating material at the end, spreading in the water so that the drowning person can pull the buoy towards itself faster; Only two sticks have been retained. At the top of the hoop, a flag must stand for maximum visibility of the buoy in the water
