The protrusion on the front of a ship at the waterline is called the "bow." It is designed to cut through the water efficiently, reducing resistance and improving the vessel's hydrodynamics. The shape and design of the bow can significantly affect a ship's performance, stability, and ability to navigate through waves.

Will the titanic ever fall apart?

As the front of the Titanic went underwater, the stern of the ship rose about 19 degrees out of the water. This was too much of a strain, and the ship broke, almost in two, from top of the boat to the keel located at the base of the ship. Then, as it went under the water, the front pulling on the back section, the keel split into many pieces, with the front of the ship landing gently on the bottom. The stern coming down with a crash. Eventually rust will eat away at the RMS Titanic, and probably in another 100 years, there will be almost nothing left of the wreck on the ocean bottom.

Is titanc real?

it is very real . Also called unsinkable it was known as the grandest ship in the world and the most well known ship/shipwreck in the whole world. titanic sank in the year of 1912 , April 14. the titanic struck an ice berg which scraped along the ship and made a whole. as the water flooded the five compartments the ship's front was under water and the back was sticking out. unfortunately the ship cannot hold that kind of pressure so it split right down the middle. and sunk right down the bottom taking the back of the ship right with it ,but not all the way. so finally it detaches as the front of the ship sinks down and left the back of the ship floating on the surface for a couple of minuets but unfortunately sinks.

What happens if the plimsoll line is below the level of the water?

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.

What thewhite line is called on the side of a ship?

The lines drawn around the hull of a ship near the water-line is called a "Plimsoll line". This horizontal line is easily seen when the ship is empty and therefore riding higher out of the water. The more cargo loaded into ship the deeper it sinks into the water, and a ship can only be loaded with cargo etc down to this line and no furthur. Before its introduction there was no safe-loading-line on a vessel to prevent overloading by unscrupulous owners.


A ship standing in the docks extends 42 feet above the water line. the water rises in the docks at rato of 6 feet a minute after 3 minutes how far does the ship still extend above the water?

As the water rises, so does the ship, so, after 3 minutes the ship would extend 42 feet about the water line.
