🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain markings on merchant vessels • Standard color codes for shots of chain (e.g., red, white, blue, yellow) • How the crew quickly identifies the remaining chain during anchoring

💭 Think About

• Think about when it would be most important for the crew to clearly notice a fully yellow-painted shot while paying out or heaving in anchor chain. • Ask yourself: is this color more likely to warn of the end, the middle, or a specific reference point near the end? • Consider what other colors are commonly used and what they usually signify (start, middle, near end, or very end).

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what a shot of chain is (standard length and how shots are connected). • Review the typical color sequence and meaning used on merchant vessels for anchor chain identification. • Focus on what information a completely yellow shot would need to convey during an anchoring operation.
