Not only does somebody have to control the descent in the davits, the system can only work in calm water with negligible rolling. In a hurricane, with the ship wallowing 45* to each side, those antique lifeboats are big fat zeroes. They cannot be used, period.

Thanks for the insight.
As an aside: in my city is a survival boat graveyard. All manner and type of survival boat is in that heap, piled high and deep. It is a fascinating trip through time and technology. Round ones, long ones, etc.
I thought they were cool and wondered if they’d let me have one for cheap, until I got close enough to smell them.

What are they made of? Sometimes you can just haul them away, and strip them down to the bare metal. Can’t get cheaper than that.

They appear to be constructed of fiberglass.
Not counting ghe windows and hardware and all that.

Nothing wrong with that. Easy to rehab or convert to other uses, if “the price is right”
(Drag it out of here, it’s yours.)
