The funnels are ripping backward pulling off all the davits, boughs going down like a torpedo.
烟囱向后撕裂,拉下所有的吊艇架,树枝像鱼雷一样倒下。

The davits were swung out, the boats were let down with a swish and a splash, all the sailors tumbled in, and rowed frantically.
吊艇架被甩出, 小艇发出嗖嗖声和溅起的水花, 所有的水手都跌了进去, 疯狂地划着。

Consequently Captain Butcher allowed the crew to launch the jolly boat, which was let down from some iron contraption called " the davits" on to the glassy surface of the sea.
A davit is any of various cranelike devices used on a ship for supporting, raising, and lowering boats, anchors, etc.
Davit systems are most often used to lower an emergency lifeboat to the embarkation level to be boarded. Davits can also be used as man-overboard safety devices to retrieve personnel from the water.
