About Asbestos

Although asbestos is no longer used in the United States as an insulation material, its legacy
is still the subject of lawsuits and health concerns. Asbestos used be used quite prevalently
before its health hazards were recognized. We remember days when ship engine rooms used
to carry an asbestos blanket in the fireroom, in the event that an engine room worker’s clothes
ignited. There was a time when during World War Two, ships that were slated for Arctic convoys
enjoyed the privilege of having asbestos insulated superstructures to keep the crew cabins
warmer. Ask anyone today if they would like to have asbestos installed between the steel outer
skin and inner lining of their stateroom and they’d probably look at you like you came from Mars.
