If we set down a scale of meandraughts, and set off perpendiculars to this scale at the placeswhere each water-plane comes, and on these set off on a con-venient scale the… … FIG. 18. A curve obtained in this way is termed a curve of displacementand at any given mean draught we can measure the displace-ment of the vessel at that draught, and consequently know atonce the total weight of the vessel with everything she has onboard. This will not be quite accurate if the…
