Can you explain reserve buoyancy Can I say that an open lifeboat has got reserve buoyancy or only an floating object with watertight integrity has reserve buoyancy?
Reserve buoyancy is the watertight volume a ship has above the waterline.Buoyancy is the upward force on a ship derived from the displacement of a weight of water equal to the weight of the ship (produced by watertight volume below the waterline).
What is the fin on a bottom of a ship called?
The very bottom of a ship is where you find the keel. The keel runs the full length of the ship along its centerline and is the backbone of the hull. From the keel all the frames run out and up. the hull is attached to the frames. Picture the keel as the backbone and the frames as the ribs. The hull is the watertight skin that allows the ship to float. Within the hull are compartments (rooms) and at the top of the hull is the main deck. The superstructure is built upon the main deck.
Why did she get called the unsinkable?
they called the Titanic the unsinkable ship because it was built with the very best materials with lots of hi tech safety features including a system of watertight compartments which was Supposed to stop the ship sinking but of course it hit the iceberg. .
Where is the the of the boat?
