What is the command for raising the lifeboat?

Raising the lifeboat is directed by a verbal instruction from the person in charge. In real operations, the coxswain or officer gives a clear spoken command like “Raise the lifeboat” to initiate the hoisting sequence, so everyone knows their exact role and can act immediately. The listed whistle signals are standard signaling patterns used for navigation or coordination at sea, but they do not initiate lifeboat hoisting. Verbal commands provide precise, immediate control needed to start and guide the operation.
