2. Builder's Old Measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder's_Old_Measurement

   Depth is the depth of the hold, in feet below the main deck. The numerator yields the ship's volume expressed in cubic feet. If a "tun" is deemed to be equivalent to 100 cubic feet, then the tonnage is simply the number of such 100 cubic feet 'tun' units of volume. 100 the divisor is unitless, so tonnage would be expressed in 'ft 3 of tun'.

3. Camber (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_(ship)

   The camber is a measure of lateral main deck curvature in naval architecture. The curve is applied to a deck transversely, measured as the height of deck at centreline above the height of deck at side. The practice of adding camber to a ship's deck originated in the era of small sailing ships.

4. List of bridges in the United States by height - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bridges_in_the...

   A bridge's deck height is greater than its clearance below, which is measured from the bottom of the deck structure, with the difference being equal to the thickness of the deck structure at the point with the greatest clearance below. Official figures for a bridge's height are often provided only for the clearance below, so those figures may ...

5. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...

6. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

   The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. [1] It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre . A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning.

7. Deck (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_(ship)

   A deck is a permanent covering over a compartment or a hull [1] of a ship. On a boat or ship, the primary or upper deck is the horizontal structure that forms the ...

9. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_(watercraft)

   The volume of a ship's hull below the waterline (solid), divided by the volume of a rectangular solid (lines) of the same length, height and width, determine a ship's block coefficient. Coefficients [5] help compare hull forms as well: Block coefficient (C b) is the volume (V) divided by the L WL × B WL × T WL. If you draw a box around the ...
