🔍 Key Concepts

• Draft marks show whole feet, with the number usually referring to the level of a specific edge of the numeral • The vertical spacing between marks (top, middle, bottom) represents inches between whole‑foot drafts, often in 6-inch steps • When the waterline is at the bottom of a number, you must decide whether that corresponds to that number of feet or the previous one

💭 Think About

• Look at how draft marks are read: does the indicated number apply to the top, middle, or bottom of the painted numeral? • If the distance from the bottom of one number to the bottom of the next number is 1 foot, how many inches apart are the top and bottom of the same number? • If the water were halfway between the 10 and 11 marks, what draft in feet and inches would that represent? Use that to reason what the bottom edge of 11 must mean.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear whether the number itself labels the depth at its bottom edge or at its top edge • Confirm the standard height of draft numerals and the spacing between them (in inches) before deciding which answer fits • Make sure your final choice matches an exact foot level, not a point between two numbers, since the water is exactly at the bottom of a numeral
