The emergency location marker system carried by a vessel for marking a location on the water and signaling, especially for locating and rescuing an individual in the water, comprises a flotation and support structure with an advantageously collapsible self-erecting tower, location-indicating devices at least one of which is mounted on the top portion of the tower, a mechanical deploying and actuating assembly for launching and activating the emergency location marker system and an electrical supply and control system. The location-indicating devices may include audio sounders, a strobe light and a self-erecting passive reflector for light and radar mounted at the top portion of the collapsible self-erecting tower below the strobe light, a low frequency transmitter and an electrical and retracting cable connected to the top portion of the collapsible self-erecting antenna tower.
