Default Re: lifeboat vs. rescue boat

Large ocean-going ships, like cruise liners, have lifeboats which can be used in an emergency when it's "Abandon ship!". These are stowed on decks and lowered into the water if the need arises.
A Rescue Boat is a fast boat based in some port, and dispatched to help if some other small boat or craft is in trouble.
