Do you use a keel to determine a ships latitude?
A keel has nothing to do with the latitude.A keel does two things:structurally, it acts as the spine(or the breastbone) of the ship to tie the crosswise "ribs" together and provide strength.If the keel is seen on the outside of the hull as a fairly narrow ridge running fore-aft, it'll also help the boat stay on course. This is particularly important for sailing ships, for which the wind will try to push them sideways.Smaller yachts and sailboats can have a fin-like keel sticking straight down instead of a long ridge.Even smaller boats will have a daggerboard doing the same service
