🔍 Key Concepts

• Location and function of the chain locker on a vessel • Purpose of the hawsepipe versus pipes/openings located on deck near the windlass • How anchor chain moves from the windlass down into storage when weighing anchor

💭 Think About

• Visualize the path of the anchor chain from the anchor outside the hull, across the windlass, and then down into the ship. Where does each named pipe typically sit along that path? • Ask yourself which term is commonly used for the opening at the bow where the chain and anchor pass through the hull, and which term would more logically describe a vertical drop into the locker below. • Consider the root words: which option sounds like it describes a falling/dropping action of chain from deck level into a lower compartment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between the opening in the hull/bow and the opening in the deck to the chain locker. • Match each term with its typical location: on the bow shell, in the deck under the windlass, or as a drain/spill opening. • Before choosing, picture an anchor-handling diagram in a seamanship text and trace where each labeled pipe is positioned.
