What does it mean when a ship is 'laid down'?
When a ship is laid down, that means the first parts of the keel are placed on the slipway (or drydock) where the ship is to be built. Laying down is usually the first step in construction of a ship. When ships were first constructed, keels were actual pieces of wood or metal that ran the length of the ship and that the frames of the ships were fitted to. Keels could be seen on the outside of a ships hull and were easy to identify. Now, the keels are usually between the double bottoms of a ship and are invisible unless viewed from inside a ship double hull.

What does a colonial shipwright do?
a colonial shipwright is a person who makes the bow, hull, keel, masts, and the ribs of the ship that they made. A bow is the forward part of the ship, the hull is the frame, or body, of a ship, a keel is the long piece of wood at the bottom of a ship that runs from the front of the ship to the back, masts are long poles that rise from the deck of a ship. They support the ship's sails and rigging, and the ribs are part of a ship's frame that run from the keel to the deck.

What is a bottom of the ship called?
It's called the hull (pronounced hul). It's the lowermost part of a ship - the part of the ship that is submerged under water. The "line" along the center of the bottom of the hull of the ship is the keel of the ship. It's laid down first when the ship is built, and is a structural component. It could be looked at as the "backbone" of the ship.

Did the costa concordia have a double hull?
No, the Costa Concordia did not have a double hull. The ship was designed with a single hull structure, which contributed to the severity of the damage when it struck a rock off the coast of Italy in January 2012. The absence of a double hull meant that the ship was more vulnerable to breaches in the hull, leading to water flooding into the vessel. This design choice has since raised concerns about safety standards in cruise ship construction.
What is the body of a ship is called?
The main body of a ship is called the hull. The hull runs from the main deck of the vessel all the way to the keel, which is at the center of the vessel where both sides of the hull join under the water. The part of the ship that is built above the hull is called the superstructure.
What is single and double hull in ship?
Single hull refers to a ship design with one outer layer of metal or material. Double hull refers to a ship design with an extra layer of protection, usually an inner hull, to provide added strength and reduce the risk of oil spills in case of a collision or grounding. Double hulls are considered safer than single hulls in terms of environmental protection.
Why the location of the shipyard and the orientation of the ship while in the shipyard are recorded on a brass plaque permanently fixed to the ship when steel naval ships are built?
First of all Brass doesn't corrode and it does not magnetize. Next the reason it is recorded on a brass plaque is to show record of where the ship was built and to provide a permanent hull # and year it was built or commissioned.
What is the fin on a bottom of a ship called?
The very bottom of a ship is where you find the keel. The keel runs the full length of the ship along its centerline and is the backbone of the hull. From the keel all the frames run out and up. the hull is attached to the frames. Picture the keel as the backbone and the frames as the ribs. The hull is the watertight skin that allows the ship to float. Within the hull are compartments (rooms) and at the top of the hull is the main deck. The superstructure is built upon the main deck.
Where is the hull of an aircraft?
