🔍 Key Concepts

• Towknee is the heavy vertical pushing structure at the bow of a towboat used to push against barges • It is usually located at the forward-most part of the hull, extending above the main deck • Differentiate between fittings (bits, winches, kevels) and the structural bow face used for pushing

💭 Think About

• On this side-view drawing, where would the towboat actually make contact with the barge when pushing ahead? • Which labeled item marks the strong vertical bow structure rather than a line, winch, or bitt? • Look at the extreme forward end near the waterline—what label is placed on the hull structure there?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that your choice is on the bow, not on the stern or upper decks • Confirm it is part of the hull structure, not a separate piece of deck gear like a winch or bitt • Make sure the item would contact the barge face directly when pushing ahead
