🔍 Key Concepts

• On a ship’s plan, transverse measurements (to port or starboard) are normally taken from the ship’s centerline. • Different symbols mark key references: baseline, centerline, and midship – each has its own distinct drafting symbol. • Know which symbol stands for the baseline (vertical reference) and which stands for the centerline (athwartships reference).

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: from which line do naval architects measure distances to port or starboard – is it the keel/bottom reference or the line that divides the vessel into port and starboard? • Look at each symbol and think: which one is most commonly associated with the ship’s centerline on a lines plan or body plan? • Which of the other symbols are more likely to represent the baseline or other construction references rather than transverse measurement origin?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which drafting symbol on typical ship plans denotes the centerline of the vessel. • Confirm that transverse measurements (offsets left/right) are taken from this centerline, not from the baseline. • Eliminate any symbol that is typically used for baseline, buttock lines, or midship section, leaving the symbol that marks the centerline reference.
