context_page_description: The Robinson's Disengaging Gear is a system for safely releasing a small seaboat into the sea from a larger ship. The Robinson's Disengaging Gear has been standard equipment on British Royal Navy ships since 1880. The term seaboat is used here to describe a work boat that is used in everyday ship operations for transferring people, inspecting other vessels, etc. A seaboat is different from a lifeboat, which is only used in an emergency to save lives. Historically, a sea boat was also used as a lifeboat, but today lifeboats are usually specialized boats, not used for everyday work.
