Overboard tracking device

An overboard tracking device comprises:

• a prismatic buoyant housing;
• a power source;
• at least one switch;
• a controller;
• a transceiver;
• a thermionic layer;
• an antenna layer;
• a waterproof casing;
• at least one illumination device;
• a weight;
• the prismatic buoyant housing comprising a first base portion, a second base portion, and a lateral portion;
• the power source, the controller, and the transceiver being mounted within the prismatic buoyant housing;
• the thermionic layer being externally superimposed onto the prismatic buoyant housing;
• the antenna layer being superimposed onto the thermionic layer;
• the waterproof casing being superimposed onto the antenna layer;
• the at least one switch being hermetically integrated through the waterproof casing, the antenna layer, and the thermionic layer and into the lateral portion;
• the power source being electrically connected to the controller and the thermionic layer;
• the controller being electronically connected to the at least one switch and the transceiver;
• the at least one illumination device being hermetically integrated through the waterproof casing, the antenna layer, and the thermionic layer and into the first base portion;
• the weight being mounted within the prismatic buoyant housing, adjacent to the second base portion;
• and,
• the at least one illumination device being electronically connected to the controller.
