🔍 Key Concepts

• How draft marks are spaced and sized on a ship’s hull (1 foot between numbers, each number usually 6 inches high) • What it means when the waterline cuts the top, middle, or bottom of a draft numeral • How to find mean draft by averaging the forward and aft drafts

💭 Think About

• First decide the exact draft when the waterline is at the top of the 8 – is that more, less, or exactly 8 feet? • Since the water level is the same relative to the numeral forward and aft, what does that tell you about the two drafts before you average? • Once you know the forward and aft drafts in feet and inches, how do you compute their average?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on how many inches tall each numeral is and how many inches are between the bottom of one number and the bottom of the next. • Confirm whether the top of the 8 represents 8 feet, 8 feet 3 inches, or 8 feet 6 inches before moving on. • When you average, double‑check that you keep feet and inches separate and convert inches correctly (12 inches = 1 foot).
