Can you explain reserve buoyancy Can I say that an open lifeboat has got reserve buoyancy or only an floating object with watertight integrity has reserve buoyancy?

Reserve buoyancy is the watertight volume a ship has above the waterline.
Buoyancy is the upward force on a ship derived from the displacement of a weight of water equal to the weight of the ship (produced by watertight volume below the waterline).

Who invented the life preserver?
The most ancient examples of primitive lifejackets can be traced back to inflated bladders of animal skins or hollow, sealed gourds, for support when crossing deeper streams and rivers. The modern lifejacket is generally credited to one Captain Ward, a Royal National Lifeboat Institution inspector in the United Kingdom, who, in 1854, created a cork vest to be worn by lifeboat crews for both weather protection and buoyancy.
