🔍 Key Concepts

• How lifeboats are numbered on a vessel (odd vs even numbers) • Which side of the vessel is called starboard and which is port when facing forward • From which end of the vessel (bow or stern) lifeboats are usually numbered

💭 Think About

• Think about where lifeboat number 1 is normally located and on which side of the ship it is found • Once you know which side has odd-numbered boats, determine where number 3 would be in relation to number 1 • Consider whether lifeboats are counted from forward to aft or aft to forward along each side

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which side (port or starboard) carries odd-numbered boats under standard convention • Confirm whether lifeboat numbering along a side begins at the forward-most boat or the after-most boat • Double-check that your chosen option correctly matches both the side and the relative position (forward/behind) of boat number 3 compared to boat number 1
