🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain shot markings on U.S. commercial vessels • Difference between marking the detachable link itself vs. links on either side • How the number of turns of wire and paint colors indicate which shot it is

💭 Think About

• Think about how the markings must stay clear and easy to read as more shots are paid out. Which links are most practical to wrap with wire so they are visible and not hidden in the chain locker or hawse pipe? • For the third shot, should the wire be on the detachable link, the third link from it, or all links on each side? How would that pattern scale for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th shots and so on? • Consider standard practice: as the shot number increases, what changes—which link is wired, how many turns, or both?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in a standard seamanship text (e.g., Knight’s Modern Seamanship or Bowditch) exactly which link(s) get wire for the 3rd shot. • Confirm how many turns of wire correspond to the 3rd shot and whether they go on each side of the detachable link. • Make sure you are not confusing the markings for the first and second shots with the method used from the third shot onward.
