Waterline of a ship. The mark above the waterline indicates the Plimsoll line. The waterline is the line where the hull of a ship meets the surface of the water.. A waterline can also refer to any line on a ship's hull that is parallel to the water's surface when the ship is afloat in a level trimmed position.
The Dutch Waterline [1] [2] (Dutch: Hollandsche Waterlinie, modern spelling: Hollandse Waterlinie) was a series of water-based defences conceived by Maurice of Nassau in the early 17th century, and realised by his half brother Frederick Henry.
Length at the waterline (LWL) is the length from the forwardmost point of the waterline measured in profile to the stern-most point of the waterline. Length between perpendiculars (LBP or LPP) is the length of the summer load waterline from the stern post to the point where it crosses the stem. (see also p/p)
An example of a water distribution system: a pumping station, a water tower, water mains, fire hydrants, and service lines [1] [2]. A water distribution system is a part of water supply network with components that carry potable water from a centralized treatment plant or wells to consumers to satisfy residential, commercial, industrial and fire fighting requirements.
A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall ( length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL.
The Dutch Water Defence lines (Dutch: Hollandse Waterlinies) [1] is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands comprising the New Dutch Waterline and Stelling van Amsterdam. The Stelling van Amsterdam was added as a World Heritage Site in 1996, and was extended in 2021 with the New Dutch Waterline in 2021. [2]
The waterline is where the hull of a ship meets the surface of the water. The load waterline is a special marking indicating the legal load limit of a ship, and, in naval architectural plans, it is any line drawn to delineate hull shape that is in a plane parallel to the surface of the water. Waterline or water line may also refer to:
The load line is a waterline that corresponds to the maximum draft of the ship, thus yet another name, load waterline. [2] Varying water temperatures will affect a ship's draft , because warm water is less dense than cold water, providing less buoyancy.
