🔍 Key Concepts

• Spring lines run lengthwise along the ship, helping prevent the vessel from moving forward or astern at the dock • Breast lines run roughly at right angles to the dock, holding the vessel in close to the pier • The name (bow/after/forward) depends on where the line is attached on the ship and which way it leads

💭 Think About

• Look at line E: does it lead more along the length of the ship or straight in toward the dock? That tells you if it is a spring or a breast line. • Compare the position of its shipboard fairlead/cleat with the bow and stern. Is it closer to the bow or more aft? • Think about whether this line would mainly stop the ship from surging ahead, surging astern, or from moving away from the dock.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether line E is angled forward/aft along the ship (spring) or mostly perpendicular to the dock (breast). • Check if its lead is toward the bow or toward the stern from its attachment point on the ship. • Match that combination (location on ship + lead direction) to the standard names: bow line / bow spring / after spring / forward breast.
