🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between trim and list • How draft (depth of hull below waterline) is measured at the bow and stern • What "mean draft" and "rolling" describe on a vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does trim describe a sideways condition or something along the fore‑and‑aft line of the ship? • Which option talks about measurements taken at both the bow and the stern, and how they compare? • Which choices are actually motions (things the vessel does over time) instead of static conditions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer refers to fore and aft drafts and how they relate to each other • Eliminate any option that describes a sideways tilt (athwartships) rather than a fore‑and‑aft condition • Eliminate any option that describes motion over time (like rolling), not a steady measured condition
