Davit

A davit is like a crane that helps lift and move heavy things. It's commonly used on boats and ships to help lift rescue boats or life rafts. Think of it like a big robot arm that can pick things up and move them around. When it's time to use the rescue boat, the davit can lower it down into the water safely. It's important for boats to have davits so that they can be prepared for emergencies and keep everyone on board safe.
