🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain marking system used in U.S. practice (shots and detachable links) • How many fathoms are in one shot of anchor chain • Standard pattern of wire wraps and shackles used to mark different shot numbers

💭 Think About

• First, convert 45 fathoms into shots of chain. How many shots is that, using the standard 15‑fathom shot? • Once you know which shot 45 fathoms represents, recall the standard marking pattern for that shot number on either side of the detachable link. • Compare the marking for that shot to the patterns for the shots just before and after it to be sure you remember the sequence correctly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that 1 shot = 15 fathoms when working this type of problem. • Multiply correctly to see which shot number corresponds to 45 fathoms from the anchor. • Confirm from your study materials the number of wire turns on each side of the detachable link for that specific shot number, and don’t confuse it with the shots immediately before or after.
