Why do fishermen need to know the tide?
When the tide is high, the water in a port is deeper; this means it is easier to maneuver around shallow areas. At low tide, many obstructions such as sand bars and reefs are exposed, or are close enough to the surface to damage a ship's hull. When the tide is "flowing" or rising, water moves into a river or harbor, making it easier for ships to enter the port and more difficult for ships to leave. When the tide is "ebbing" or falling, water is flowing OUT of the harbor, making it easier for ships to leave port. With powered vessels, this isn't particularly important; but for sailing ships, it can be VERY important to leave port when the tide is ebbing, and enter port when the tide is flowing. In some extreme cases, ships are aground at low tide! The English port of Bristol experiences dramatic tides; in fact, the old saying "ship-shape and Bristol-fashion" refers to having everything put away well enough so that things won't be knocked over when the tide goes out and the ship runs aground - and keels over!
A rope ladder hangs over the side of a ship so that the ladder just reaches the water the rungs are nine inches apart how many rungs will be under water when the tide has risen three feet?

A ship anchored in a port has a ladder where the bottom of tave touches the water?
If a ship is anchored in a port and has a ladder where the bottom touches the water, the ladder is likely submerged to some extent depending on the tide and the ship's position. As the water level changes with the tide, the height of the ladder above the water may also change, but the bottom will remain in contact with the water. This setup allows crew members to board or disembark the ship easily.
What are the factors that effects the tide?
