🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge is the curved or angled part of the hull where the bottom meets the side shell • A knuckle is a sharp change in angle between two flat (or slightly curved) surfaces of the hull plating • On a barge, the bilge knuckle will be located at the turn between the flat bottom and the vertical side, often best seen in the cross‑section view

💭 Think About

• Look at both the profile (side view) and the cross‑section of the barge: where does the flat bottom change direction into the vertical side? • Which letter is pointing exactly to the line of intersection (the angle) and not to the flat side, not to the flat bottom, and not to the deck or sheer? • In the cross‑section, follow the inside of the hull plating from the bottom upward—at what labeled point does the angle change from horizontal to nearly vertical?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that the label you pick lies at the corner/angle between bottom and side, not in the middle of a flat plate • Verify that the chosen point is on the hull plating, not on a deck, coaming, or internal structure • Make sure you are using the cross‑section view (bottom illustration) to identify the bilge knuckle, since that view shows the turn of the bilge most clearly
