davit

I knew by the sound that they had placed it near the davit, and almost exactly under my head.

At its top it was attached by a cable to one of the forward davits.

I stood by with my hand on the davit.

Resting in davits was a ship of cold, blue metal.

The crew was quiet, each man busy with the boats and davits.

Davits were installed, as there was originally no plan for a dock.

That they did not succeed was due to the lack of a little oil on the ship's davits.

In a few minutes we were on board and the boat was in its davits.

The launch came alongside and was hoisted into its davits.

One of the quarter-boats was hanging rather low down upon the davits.

But they could not be lowered away until the davits were cleared of the two forward boats.

A winch and davit are used to launch the boat.

The ship's four boats were hung on davits outside her armor.

Four boats hung from davits, two on each side.

I heard the creak o' davits just after the first discharge.

All that remained on board was a piece of one of the davits.

Lifeboats were off their davits, reaching the water on the low side of the ship.

Releasing the davits, they were ready for their flight.

Lines creaking in the davits, the boats went down to the ocean.

The davits were out over the water now.

Hanging from davits off the yacht's stern was yet a other boat.

He and his men were swinging the ship's motor launch out in its davits three minutes later.

The davits squeaked as the boat was dropped in a rush.

Above level 109, up to tier 27 traditional cradles from davits are used.

Initially lifeboats were launched using davits, much as they are today.
