To help reduce the number of lives lost at sea due to overloading of ships.
Plimsoll lines are marked on the side of a ship to indicate maximum loading. This varies slightly depending on the season and the ocean, depending what type of ship it is.
The Plimsoll Lines stopped owners overloading the ship, as it provided a 'load line' which could not be exceeded. i.e. when a ship goes to sea, the water line is never allowed to go above the plimsoll line.
because before they were invented people would over load their ships and the ship would end up sinking. but the plimsoll line stops people from over loading their ships so not many ships sank from then on. coment back please to say how helpful i was !
The plimsoll line is a reference mark painted on the bow of a ship. If the line is below the water level, the ship is overloaded. There are lines for when on fresh water and when on salt water.
