First developed in the late 15th century, the davit is any of various crane-like devices used on a ship for supporting, raising, and lowering boats, anchors, etc. Davits are most often used to lower an emergency lifeboat to the embarkation level to be boarded. Davits can also be used as man-overboard safety devices to retrieve personnel from the water. |
