SEAM 1

Question 1

It’s the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. It’s essentially the main structure of the vessel, providing buoyancy, stability, and protection for the cargo, machinery, and crew.

Answer 1

Hull

Question 2

These hull rely primarily on buoyancy to support the vessel. They are common in larger ships and are characterized by their rounded bottom.

Answer 2

Displacement Hull

Question 3

These hull combine elements of displacement and planning hulls, offering a balance of stability and speed.

Answer 3

Semi-Displacement Hull

Question 4

These hulls are designed to lift out of the water at high speeds, reducing drag. They are often used in smaller, high-speed vessels.

Answer 4

Planing Hull

Question 5

It’s the front or forward part of a ship. It’s the section that first encounters waves and obstacles in the water.

Answer 5

Bow

Question 6

A sharp, pointed bow designed for ramming other vessels, often used in military applications.

Answer 6

Ram Bow

Question 7

A bow with a wide, flared shape that helps to deflect waves and improve stability.

Answer 7

Flare bow

Question 8

A large, bulb-shaped structure attached to the bottom of the bow that reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency.

Answer 8

Bulbous Bow

Question 9

It’s the rear or aft part of a ship. It’s the section that trails behind the vessel as it moves through the water.

Answer 9

Stern

Question 10

is a stern shape characterized by a generally flat shape extending to the waterline.

Answer 10

Transom Stern

Question 11

It’s a stern with a counter or overhang that improves stability and reduces drag.

Answer 11

Counter Stern

Question 12

It’s the backbone of a ship, running lengthwise along its bottom. It provides structural support, stability, and a reference point for measuring the vessel’s draft (the depth to which it sinks in the water).

Answer 12

Keel

Question 13

It’s the horizontal surface or platform on a ship, boat, or other vessel. It provides a space for crew members to work, passengers to move around, and cargo to be stored.

Answer 13

Deck

Question 14

Three materials for Deck

Answer 14

Wood, Steel, and Composite Materials

Question 15

The primary deck of a ship, usually located near the waterline. It often houses the ship’s machinery and crew quarters.

Answer 15

Main Deck

Question 16

A deck located above the main deck, providing additional space for passengers, crew, or cargo.

Answer 16

Upper Deck

Question 17

A deck designed for walking or strolling, often located near the top of the ship.

Answer 17

Promenade Deck

Question 18

A deck specifically designed for carrying cargo, often located below the passenger decks.

Answer 18

Cargo Deck

Question 19

the upper deck of a sailing ship forward of the foremast, or, historically, the forward part of a ship with the sailors’ living quarters.

Answer 19

Forecastle Deck

Question 20

It’sthe main security check point aboard a vessel when it is in port or anchored. This is the area of the ship where the gangway is rigged and the watch is posted.

Answer 20

Quarter-Deck

Question 21

These areinner walls within the hull of a ship, used to separate it into smallercompartments.

Answer 21

Bulkheads

Question 22

Types of Bulkheads

These are designed to prevent the passage of water, even under pressure. They are typically used in areas where flooding could pose a serious risk, such as engine rooms or cargo holds.

Answer 22

Watertight bulkheads

Question 23

Types of Bulkheads

These are designed to resist the spread of fire for a specified period of time.

Answer 23

Fire-resistant bulkheads

Question 24

It’s the lowest part of a ship’s hull where water and other liquids accumulate. It’s essential for collecting and removing these substances to prevent them from compromising the ship’s stability and causing damage.

Answer 24

Bilge
