🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor chain marking systems used on U.S. vessels • Difference between a shot of chain and a fathom • What the colored detachable link and its adjacent white links mean

💭 Think About

• Think about what a blue detachable link with three white links on each side traditionally marks on an anchor chain. • Ask yourself: are colors and white links usually used to count shots of chain or fathoms of chain? • Consider what would realistically be ‘on deck’ and how it would normally be measured: in shots or fathoms?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how many fathoms are in one shot of anchor chain on standard merchant vessels. • Confirm what the colored detachable link represents at each marking (1st shot, 2nd shot, 3rd shot, etc.). • Check whether three white links on each side of a colored link match a system for counting shots or a system for counting fathoms.
