Línea 4: Un '''bote salvavidas''' es un [[bote]] rígido o inflable diseñado para salvar las vidas de las personas en caso de problemas en el mar. El término se aplica tanto a los botes que se mantienen en puerto o cerca de éste usados para auxiliar a un barco que tenga problemas como a los botes portados por barcos mayores que permiten al pasaje y la tripulación escapar en caso de emergencia. ~~The~~El ~~first~~primer ~~boat~~bote ~~specialized~~especializado asen asalvar ~~lifeboat~~vidas ~~was~~fue ~~tested~~provado onen ~~the~~el río [[~~River~~ Tyne]] onel [[~~January~~29 de 29enero]], de [[1790]].

[[William Wouldhave]] and [[Lionel Lukin]] both claimed to be the inventor of the first lifeboat. One example of an early lifeboat was the [[Landguard Fort Lifeboat]] of 1821, designed by [[Richard Hall Gower]]. Los botes salvavidas hinchables pueden estar equipados con bombonas de [[dióxido de carbono]] o bombas mecánicas para facilitar su hinchado. De esta forma, un mecanismo hincha rápidamente el bote al tiempo que lo libera del buque madre. Los aviones comerciales están obligados a portar botes salvavidas hinchables en caso de un [[amerizaje]] de emergencia. También se tienen en plataformas petrolíferas y similares. In U.S. waters, rescue-at-sea is part of the duties of the [[United States Coast Guard]], which employs its multipurpose ships and aircraft in this role. The Coast Guard is also responsible for making sure that the proper type and number of lifeboats (American usage) are available and kept in good repair on any large ship. "Lifeboat drills" are a part of a cruise experience. Inflatable lifeboats, also called '''life rafts''', may be equipped with auto-inflation [[carbon dioxide]] canisters or mechanical pumps. A quick release and pressure release mechanism is fitted onboard ships so that the canister or pump automatically inflates the lifeboat, and the lifeboat breaks free of the sinking vessel. Commercial aircraft are required to carry auto-inflating life rafts in case of an emergency [[water landing]]. They are also kept on offshore platforms. ▲<!-- ==Ship-launched lifeboats== These are large [[whaleboat]]s designed to be lowered from [[davit]]s on a ship's deck. They are designed to be unsinkable, with buoyancy that cannot be damaged. They have a cover that can be erected to form a storm shelter and sunshade. The cover can usually collect rainwater, and is visible from the air. They usually carry flares and mirrors for signaling, three days of food and water, oars, an engine, heater and basic navigational equipment.
