disembarkation (countable and uncountable, plural disembarkations)

1. The act of disembarking.
   • 1946 January and February, 'Talisman', “Bückeburg to Aberayron”, in Railway Magazine, page 41:

     Disembarkation seemed a slow business. From the deck one watched a "Merchant Navy" Pacific drift lazily along the track beside the wall of the Marine Station, and little South Eastern tanks go snorting fussily about.
