Side house. A small house at the side of the upper, forecastle, bridge, or poop deck, etc., of a vessel.

Superstructure. Any superstructure the breadth of which (at all points throughout its length) is approximately equivalent to the breadth of the upper deck, and the side frames of which are entirely independent of the main frames of the vessel. This definition is not applicable to forecastle, bridge, or poop. §2.70 Definitions of items of deduction.

Chart house. (See definition in § 2.69.)

Crew spaces. The space appropriated exclusively to the use of the crew of a vessel, except such spaces as the engineer's workshop, carpenter shop, plumber shop, butcher shop, etc., whereever situated. The total of all crewspace deductions will be shown on vessel's documents under the head of "Crew space."

Master's cabin. A space for the exclusive use of the master, consisting of

Steering gear. The space below deck occupied by machinery, fittings, etc., for operating the steering gear.

Storage of sails. The space in a vessel propelled wholly by sails used exclusively for storing the same, subject to the limitation of 22 percent of the vessel's gross tonnage.

§ 2.71 Definitions of structural terms, etc.

After perpendicular. A vertical straight line at the after edge of the rudder post.

Athwart; athwartship. In a transverse direction; from side to side at right angles to the fore and aft center line of a vessel.

Batten. A board several inches in breadth, usually fitted on the side frames in holds and between decks of vessels instead of ceiling.

Beam. An athwart member supporting a portion of a deck. Also the breadth of the vessel.

Between decks. For measurement purposes it is the space between the second and third and third and fourth decks, etc., the decks being numbered from below.

Body plan. A drawing consisting of a pair of half transverse elevations or end views of a vessel, both having a common vertical middle line, so that the righthand side represents the vessel as seen from ahead and the left-hand side as seen from astern. On the body plan appear the forms of the various cross sections. The curvature of the rail and deck lines at the sides, and with the water lines, buttock lines, and diagonal lines indicated as straight lines.

Booby hatch. A small companion fitted with a sliding top.

Break in double bottom. The point where the line of the inner bottom is broken by being either raised or lowered from the normal line of same.

Bulkhead. Bulkheads are partitions by which compartments, etc., are formed, or the hold of a vessel is divided.

Bulwark. A term applied to the strake of shell plating or the side planking above the weather deck and usually extends between the forecastle and the bridge or the bridge and the poop.

Ceiling. The covering of wood planking on the inboard face of a vessel's side

frames, bottom frames, floor timbers, and sometimes on the under side of deck beams.

Cellular double bottom. A term applied when the double bottom is divided into numerous compartments by the floors and longitudinals.

Coaming. The vertical boundary around a hatch, skylight, etc., the "sill" below a tonnage opening in a bulkhead. Cockpit. A space at the bottom of which is a platform sunk below the line of the upper deck on small craft. Companion. A small structure sheltering a deck opening affording entrance to a companionway.

Companionway. A stairway or ladderway leading to a space above or below.

Covering board. A plank or a strake of planking fitted horizontally on top of frame heads at the line of weather deck.

Crown. A term sometimes used to denote the round up or camber of a deck.

Deck hook. A wooden hook or knee on the level of deck beams on which the extreme forward ends of deck planks rest and to which they are fastened. On iron or steel vessels, a plate connecting the extreme ends of deck stringer plates.

Depth of frame. The depth of a bottom frame is its perpendicular height. (See d, Figure 1 (§ 2.65)). The depth of a side frame is the athwart distance between its inboard and outboard face.

Double bottom. Compartments at bottom of ship between inner and outer bottom plating, used for ballast tanks, water, fuel oil, etc.

Fidley hatch. Hatch around smokestack and uptake.

Flange. Portion of a plate or shape at, or nearly at right angles to main portion.

Flare. A spreading outward and upward.

to take the rudder pintles.

Gunwale. A term applied to the line where an upper deck stringer intersects the shell.

Hatchway. An aperture in a vessel's deck through which cargo is laden or discharged; in common practice the term "hatch" is also applied.

Hold. For admeasurement purposes, that portion of the vessel below the tonnage deck.

Horn timber. The center line frame in the stern of a wooden vessel, extending aft from the sternpost.

Inboard profile. Drawing of a vessel cut vertically through its longitudinal center line, showing its forward and after perpendiculars, line of deck at center and side, height of decks, tanks, height of bottom frames or floors and their spacing, assignment of various spaces, machinery, etc.

Inner bottom. Plating forming the upper boundary of the double bottom. Also called the tank top.

Keel. In wooden and composite vessels it is composed of pieces of timber and extends from stem to sternpost and is the bottom member of the vessel's structure. In iron or steel vessels it consists of long bars fitted vertically or cf plates fitted horizontally at the middle line.

Keelson. In wooden vessels the keelson is composed (like the keel) of various pieces of timber placed on the bottom frames directly over and in line with the keel and extending all fore and aft. iron or steel vessels the middle-line keelson is the keelson at the center line, directly over the keel.

In

Length between perpendiculars. The length of a vessel measured from the forward edge of the stem where it intersects the load water line to the after perpendicular.

Length over all. The length of a vessel measured from the foremost part of the stem to the aftermost point of the stern.

Limber strake. The fore and aft plank of bottom ceiling laid next to the keelson.

Longitudinal framing. A system of construction in which, in conjunction with deep web frames, the main frames are run fore and aft instead of athwartships.

Longitudinal. A fore and aft vertical member running parallel, or nearly parallel, to the center vertical keel through the double bottom.

Main rail. Fail fitted on the upper edge of bulwark plating, or upon the stanchions surrounding an upper deck.

Margin plate. The outer boundary of the inner bottom, connecting it to the shell plating at the bilge.

Midship cross section. A drawing of a vessel cut athwartship at about midlength, showing moulded depth, moulded breadth, round or pitch of beam, depth of side and bottom frames, floors, etc.

Orlop deck. The lowest partial deck. Outboard. Away from the center line, towards the side of the vessel.
