The first international buoyage system was proposed by the International Marine Conference, Washington 1889. In 1936 the League of Nations recommended a uniform system with »red to port«. This system was followed by most countries until 1977 when IALA Buoyage System »A« was implemented, later followed by »B« in USA and Japan waters | afmærkning |

timbers including stern-post, transom and fashion pieces | agterspant |
The earlier vessels had what is called a square tuck - a flat stern with a sharp edge where the bottom planks joined it | agterstævn |
The stern - The lowest part of the stern is fined down somewhat more than the forepart so that the water can reach the propeller more easily, and the narrow floor plates extend right up beyond the stern tube, through which the propeller shaft extends out to the propeller. Above this there are stringers and tiers of beams as in the forepeak. In the uppermost broad part of the stern is space for accommodation and steering engine. The stern frame itself forma s clear-cut stop for the hull... The lowest part of the stern frame extends a few frame spaces forward to provide a good connection to the hull, and it often extends below the propeller to the lower edge of the rudder, giving it support. Higher up on the stern post is the boss carrying the stern tube with the propeller shaft. The upper part bends aft and extends into the lower part of the stern, so that stern post and stern support each other. The rudder stock passes through here so that there is a connection from the steering engine to the rudder |

The wales ... The term is seldom used by shipbuilders of the new school... The wale strakes located where channel fastenings are, were named channel wales. The planks below were named the main wales, and below these again were the diminishing strakes, so called because it was here the planks began to be diminished in thickness and merge into bottom planks ... The present day method of planking ... all planks between sheer and garboard strakes are alike in thickness and method of fastening, the old distinguishing names... have become obsolete | barkholt |
The uppermost strake of a vessel is stronger than the rest, and is called the wale. In an open boat it is the saxboard. The wale of a boat is the strake running beneath and supporting the outer edge of the gunwale. It is sometimes called the board or the rubbing piece. | barkholt |
top wale, middle wale | barkholt |
The frames which would carry the hull up to the gunwales were then put in place, and the hull was completed by bolting four wales to the upper frames and filling in the spaces between them with planks nailed to the frames without any mortise or tenon joints | barkholt |

To make sure that the expression of bollard pull is based on a uniform set of criteria, The DNV ... has formulated a test that will give the best possible indication of a tug's true towing power. This test stipulates that a continuous bollard pull be maintained for at least 10 to 15 minutes in order to arrive at an indication of a tug's true pulling power. [Specifications in Appendix II:] Engines shall be run at the manufacturer's recommended maximum continuous output. The propellers fitted shall be the proppellers used in normal operations. The length of the tow wire shall not be less than 300 m, measured between the stern of the vessel and the shoreline. The water depth at the test location shall not be less than 20 m within a radius of 100 m of the vessel. The vessel shall be able to maintain a fixed course for not less than five minutes. |

the draught is the vertical distance from the top of the keel amidships to the subdivision loadline in question | dybgående, dybtgående |
the draught of a vessel is the vertical distance between the waterline and the keel." The draught marks are cut into each side of the stem and stern and painted in a contrasting colour of the hull. The marks can be in English unit on the one side and metric on the other side. Metric measures are one decimeter high and only the even figures are marked. The figures for English feet are six inches and are cut for every foot. Reading the bottom of the figures gives the draught in feet and reading the top of the figures gives the draught in feet and six inches | dybgang |

Trawling is used to about 350 fths and dredging is also used on the seabed when it is shallower water down to around 50 fths. Mid-water trawling is also used from the surface to a point clear of the bottom. Encircling gear is used to scoop up quantities of fish as in purse seining down to about 50 fths and seine netting on the seabed down to 350 fths. Static fishing gear includes gillnets and setnets used from the surface down to where the bottom is up to 50 fths deep, long lining from the surface down to the seabed at about 150 fths and pots used on the seabed down to 400 fths to catch the crustaceans. A side trawler sets and hauls the trawling gear over the side and, as the name implies, the stern trawler does the same over the stern |

The spaces above and below the lines of gunports were painted black, as were the gunport lids, and the spaces between them were coloured yellow. The style was soon copied by the captains under Nelson's immediate command, then by the rest af the British fleeet, and before the Napoleonic wars were at an end, by many ships in foreign navies. By 1815 white had replaced yellow for the spaces between the ports on many ships, and this soon became established as the traditional style of the British warship, and was copied even by merchant ships | gang |

The phenomenon in which two bodies have the same apparent celestial longitude as viewed from a third body. Conjuntions are usually tabulated as geocentric phenomena. For Mercury and Venus, geocentric inferior conjunction occurs when the planet is between the Earth and Sun, and superior conjunction occurs when the Sun is between the planet and Earth. | konjunktion |

To scarph is to unite any two pieces of timber together by the extremeties, so that the end of one goes over the end of the other, being tapered that the one may be let into the other and become even, as the keel-pieces, clamps, &c. But when the end of the two pieces are cut square and put together, they are said to butt to one another; and when another piece is laid on and fastened to both, as is the case in all the frame-timbers, this is called scarphing the timbers; and half the piece which fastens the two timbers together, is reckoned the length of the scarph | lask |

The acoustic correlation log - utilises acoustic pulses reflected from the seabed or a water mass if the seabed returns are weak or the depth exceeds 200 metres. | log, loggeapparat |
The doppler log relies on the fact that a moving transmitter which transmits at a consequent frequency will appear to the receiver to change frequency as the transmitter changes position. The change in frequency is dependant upon transmitted frequency, speed of propagation of radio wave, rate of change of position of transmitter (speed) | log, loggeapparat |

The term conformal was applied to map projections by Gauss in 1825, and eventually supplanted the alternative terms "orthomorphic" (Lee 1944; Snyder 1987, p. 4) and "autogonal" (Tissot 1881, Lee 1944). No projection can be both equal-area and conform, and projections which are neither equal-area nor conformal are sometimes called aphylactic (Lee 1944; Snyder 1987, p. 4) |
