🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of wale shores during dry docking • How different hull shapes (list, trim, tumble home, deadrise) affect side support in a dry dock • When extra lateral support is needed beyond keel blocks and regular shores

💭 Think About

• Which hull condition or shape would make the upper sides of the hull more likely to move inboard or outboard if not specially supported? • Think about how ordinary side shores bear on the bilge/side of the ship—under which hull shape would they tend to slip or lose good contact? • Which option describes a permanent hull form, not just a temporary condition like a list or trim caused by loading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe temporary conditions (that can often be corrected before docking) versus built-in hull shapes. • Consider which option would make it hard for normal shores to press squarely against the ship’s side. • Recall that wale shores are heavy, nearly horizontal shores fitted high up to restrain the ship’s side—so which hull form makes that especially necessary?
