Ship's boats have always provided transport between the shore and other ships. Other work done by such boats has varied over time, as technology has changed. In the age of sail, especially for warships, an important role was the collection of drinking water. The use of radio, followed by telex, e-mail, etc. has reduced and then replaced the need for written communications to be delivered. A large enough boat may be needed to carry an anchor to some distance away from the ship, so as to <a href="/wiki/Kedge" class="mw-redirect" title="Kedge">kedge</a> out of a harbour or away from a hazard – and also to recover such an anchor afterwards. Warships have always used their boats as an extension to their military role. This includes the provision of a means of escape for the crews of <a href="/wiki/Fireships" class="mw-redirect" title="Fireships">fireships</a>, the landing of troops, or the "cutting out" raids that were used by the Royal Navy, especially during the Napoleonic Wars. All these requirements competed with the need to be able to stow the boats on board in a way that did not interfere with the normal operation of the ship. </p><p>Historically, ship’s boats had different names depending on their role. During the <a href="/wiki/Age_of_Sail" title="Age of Sail">Age of Sail</a>, this included the <a href="/wiki/Longboat" title="Longboat">longboat</a>, <a href="/wiki/Captain%27s_gig" class="mw-redirect" title="Captain's gig">captain's gig</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jolly_boat" title="Jolly boat">jolly boat</a>, and other forms and designations. The terminology was not totally precise and has some variations with time and place.

In the smallest vessels a ship's boat was also on occasion towed astern.

This freed space on the deck, reduced the possibility of the boats being damaged by gunfire and prevented the boats becoming a major source of dangerous <a href="/wiki/Splinter" title="Splinter">splinters</a> if they were left on deck. If a ship was spending a long period at anchor (such as during a spell in a home port when the boats would be regularly employed moving people and supplies between ship and shore) it was common to rig a boat boom perpendicular to the hull of the ship. The boats would then be moored to this, ready for use as required. This saved the manpower and time needed to hoist a boat into and out of the water whenever it was needed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Age_of_steam">Age of steam</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ship%27s_boat&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Age of steam"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg/220px-HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="152" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg/330px-HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg/440px-HMS_Triumph_picket_boat.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1642" data-file-height="1133" /></a><figcaption>A British 56-foot (17 m) picket boat, returning to HMS <i>Triumph</i> after participating in action on April 18, 1915</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg/220px-Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="167" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg/330px-Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg/440px-Sailors_of_HMS_King_Edward_VII%E2%80%A6.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2000" data-file-height="1516" /></a><figcaption>A selection of boats from a Royal Navy squadron in 1909.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This demonstrates the continued extensive use of boats propelled by oar and sail at a time when all the warships used steam. The funnel of one steam pinnace can be seen in the picture.</figcaption></figure> <p>The transition from a sailing navy to one powered by steam removed one ship's boat task and greatly reduced another. Steam ships could distil drinking water from seawater. Warships no longer needed boats that maximised their ability to carry water casks. This meant that the range of sizes of boats could be reduced, as a warship could make do with a slightly smaller boat than the largest she could fit, as it did not compromise their watering ability. The other task that changed was anchor work. Steam power reduced the need for kedging a ship in or out of a harbour. So the ability to carry an anchor and cable, though still an essential part of the seamanship of the steam navy, was much less of a common task.<sup id="cite_ref-May_1999_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May_1999-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 70–71">: 70–71 </span></sup> </p><p>Navies were slow to use steam power in their ship's boats. The Royal Navy experimented with one in 1848, getting rid of it two years later. The next involvement was in 1864. Six ships were each supplied with a standard launch fitted with a steam engine. In the following years, their numbers were increased and, in 1867, a 36 feet (11 m) steam pinnace was successfully trialled and produced in a range of sizes. Steam cutters were the next to be introduced.<sup id="cite_ref-May_1999_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May_1999-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 105–106">: 105–106 </span></sup> </p><p>By 1877, steam boats had a clear presence among the range of boats carried by warships. However, they were in an obvious minority, with large numbers of boats propelled by sail and oar continuing to be used through to the First World War. With the outbreak of war, motor boats were introduced to improve efficiency. However, sail and oar remained common through both world wars.<sup id="cite_ref-May_1999_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May_1999-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 88–89, 109">: 88–89, 109 </span></sup> </p><p>In the Royal Navy, the steam pinnace acquired the role of patrolling the entrances to anchorages to protect them from enemy torpedo boats. This gave them the name picket boat – examples from the 1890s measured 46 feet (14 m) and 50 feet (15 m). They had the capability to carry 14 inches (360 mm) torpedoes in mounts on either side of the hull (a feature introduced about 1875) and some were armed with a three pounder gun and/or a maxim machine-gun.<sup id="cite_ref-May_1999_7-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-May_1999-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 108, 122">: 108, 122 </span></sup> </p><p>Steam boats were substantially heavier than boats powered by sail or oar.
