The invention relates to launching small lifesaving craft under the best conditions. It allows, inter alia, the small craft to be at a sufficient distance from the ship when launched and the energy which this manoeuvre requires to be saved. The device is composed of a single davit formed by two arms 1 and 5 which are articulated together at 7. The bent arm 1 is mounted pivotably about the shaft 3 securely fixed to the ship. A cable 8 of predetermined length linking the arm 5 to the ship allows the deployment of this arm to be controlled. The small craft 9 is linked to the davit by a cable 10 reeled up on a winch. A pulley device 11-12-13 guides the cables 8 and 10. The launching of the small craft 9 is obtained by means of movements imparted to the arms 1 and 5. The movement controlled at source by means of a double-action jack 14 then continues by gravity, the jack 14 then acting as a brake preventing the small craft from being launched too abruptly. <IMAGE>
