🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of bitter end in seamanship terminology • Where the inner/fixed end of an anchor cable or mooring line is located on board • Difference between the part of a cable near the anchor and the part near the ship’s securing point

💭 Think About

• Think about which end of a cable or chain a crew would want to be able to release in an emergency inside the ship, not out at the water. • Ask yourself: is the bitter end the part near the anchor in the water, or the end that is attached somewhere strong inside the vessel? • Consider how the term would be used in an order on deck, like: “Make sure the bitter end is secured!”—what exactly would the crew be checking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether bitter end refers to the end near the anchor or the end secured inside the vessel. • Check which option clearly describes a point where the chain/line is fastened to the vessel’s structure or winch rather than outboard. • Eliminate any answers that describe a looped or working end that is handled frequently, rather than the permanently secured end.
