🔍 Key Concepts

• The flow of water right next to the hull as a vessel moves through otherwise still water • How this flow affects handling, turning, and interaction with nearby objects or banks • Difference between water moved by the hull versus water moved directly by the propeller

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term describes water that is being dragged along by the ship’s hull itself, not just pushed back by the propeller? • Consider which option is a standard seamanship term you’ve seen in handling, bank effect, or squat discussions. • Think about where this current exists: is it only behind the vessel, or all around the underwater part of the hull as it moves forward?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is commonly used in shiphandling texts to describe water flowing along the hull in the same direction as the vessel. • Distinguish between propeller wash/thrust (directly from the propeller) and the flow of water caused by the hull moving through the water. • Eliminate any answers that mainly describe water movement behind the vessel rather than the flow immediately surrounding the hull.
