Q

Which type of link is generally used to connect shots of anchor chain?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain construction – difference between ordinary chain links and special-purpose links • Purpose of connecting separate shots/lengths of chain on board a vessel • How a detachable/repair/connecting link is designed to be broken down and reassembled on deck

💭 Think About

• Think about what must be done when you need to remove, add, or rearrange shots of chain. Which type of link would make this possible without cutting the chain? • Which option names a link that is specifically designed to be taken apart and reassembled, rather than a link that is permanently welded? • Consider what the normal, everyday links in the chain are called, versus the special link that connects two shots together.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes the special joining link rather than the regular chain links. • Ask yourself which link type can be easily removed on deck to separate two shots of chain. • Eliminate any option that mainly describes the standard link type repeated throughout the chain rather than the connector between shots.
