Berthon boat
| Морской словарь |
A collapsible craft made with double canvas linings stretched on a folding wooden frame to form watertight envelopes that assist buoyancy and give protection should the outer canvas be accidentally torn. invented by edward berthon in 1850. seeing it on display at the great exhibition of 1851, the prince of wales commented that a cannonball would easily penetrate the canvas. to the amusement of queen victoria, berthon replied, “what, sir, could not be penetrated by a cannonball?.” in 1873 the royal navy adopted berthon boats for destroyers, other small craft, and (later) submarines where storage space was at a premium. it is frequently reported that rms titanic carried four berthon boats, but these were actually similar, but larger and single-skinned, englehardt boats.

- [1] small vessel for specialized use (e.g., fishing boat) or carried for use by a larger one (e.g., lifeboat). the u.s. coast guard defines a boat as being less than 300 tons, anything larger being a ship.

Boat etiquette, английский
Traditionally, small boats are boarded in reverse order of rank, and exited the other way around. by going first, juniors are on board to steady the craft and provide a helping hand to seniors when they climb down the ship’s ladder or step off a quay. the convention also ensures that seniors do not have to wait in the boat while subordinates clamber on board at one end or disembark at the other. this works especially well when the senior officer is visiting a ship. on arrival, the captain can greet the visitor and lead him to his cabin without disembarking juniors getting in the way while, on departure, it allows the senior to linger in conversation after the juniors have boarded. by extension, the same courtesy applies to automobiles and aircraft, where the senior is always last to enter and first to leave. in the rn it is customary that, when a flag or commanding officer leaves his command, the boat taking him ashore be crewed entirely by officers.
