  Notes :

  ((The)) depth to which a ship is immersed in the water varies according to the design of the ship and will be greater or lesser depending not only on the weight of the ship and everything on board, such as cargo, ballast, fuel and spares, but also on the density of the water in which the ship is lying.
  
  Care should be taken to differentiate between light draught (of the unladen ship) and the loaded draught. The depth of the vessel below the waterline, when measured at the bow, is called the draught forward; when measured at the stern, the draught aft; the average of the draught forward and the draught aft is called the mean draught.
  
  Draught, sometimes written as draft, the depth of water which a ship draws, which of course varies with the state of her loading. Her maximum draught, known as her deep load draught, occurs when she is fully loaded down to her Plimsoll line.
