CHAPTER 10

LONGITUDINAL STABILITY AND TRIM

A ship floating at equal draught all along is said to be on an even keel, or to have zero trim. If the fraughts are not the same from bow to stern, the ship is floting with a trim. Deeper draughts aft than forward result in trim by the stern. If the draught forward exceeds the draught aft, the condition is called trim by the head or bu the bow. The measure of the amount of trim is simply the difference between the after and forward draughts.

Figure 10.1.

Two waterlines (or waterplanes) are shown on the ship in Figure 10.1; a trimmed waterline (W1L1) and the even keel waterline (WL) corresponding to the same displacement. They are shown intersecting at the centre of flotation of the even keel waterplane. The quantities shown in the figure are defined as follows

Centre of Flotation (F): Geometric center of the ship's waterline plane. The ship trims about this point. May be forward or aft of the midships depending on the ship's hull shape at the waterline.

Longitudinal Centre of Flotation (LCF) : Distance from the centre of flotation (F) to the midships. Used to distribute changes of trim between the fwd and aft draughts.

Trim (t) : The difference between the forward and after draughts

Parallel Rise/Sinkage (PR/PS): When weight is removed/added from/to a ship at LCF, the forward and aft drafts will change by the same amount.

Change in Trim (CT): The sum total of the absolute values of the change in forward and after drafts.

Trimming Arm (TA): The distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the LCF. If the weight is shifted, TA is the distance shifted.

Trimming Moment (TM): Moment about the LCF produced by weight additions, removals, or shifts (wd), where w is the amount of weight added, removed, or shifted.

Moment to Trim One cm (MT1cm): The moment necessary to produce a change in trim (CT) of one cm. Found using the hydrostatic curves.

    “The blind thing in his doubled fury broke/ a hilltop in his hands and heaved it after us./ Ahead of our black prow it struck and sank/ whelmed in a spuming geyser, a giant wave/ that washed the ship stern foremost back to shore./ I got the longest boathook out and stood/ fending us off, with furious nods to all to put their backs into a racing stroke-/ row, row, or perish. So the long oars bent/ kicking the foam sternward, making head/ until we drew away, and twice as far.”(9. 524-534)…

Then the needle jagged forward and just what I needed, a reef. “You boys get ready.” I said to em, went to grab my line and came back. “Now!” I yelled. Boys and I dropped our sinkers and waited. For such a good spot, not much was happening. “Nothing, ey?” I asked the boys. “Nothing for me, dad” Tim said. “Bring ya rods back up, I’m gonna move the big girl.” I moved it on a bit, surely some bloody snapper gotta be here.

    As it filled with water, the bow submerged, raising the stern out of water. When the stern reached an angle of about 45 degrees, the stresses in the ship's midsection (15 tons per square inch) caused the steel to fail and the bow to rip loose and sink [Gannon, 1995].…

    The story begins with the author describing the trouble that the crew and their ship are facing. The readers are then introduced to the consequences if their boat, Sally Anne, doesn’t get to the shore. If Sally Anne manages to reach the shore then that is problematic since both sides of the 20 mile stretch there is no real shore, however, the first mate remains to be optimistic about his trusted boat. The first mate feels that the intricacy of the Sally Anne’s design will protect her from harm while the complexity would “guarantee its existence”. The first mate’s idealism is overwhelming in comparison to the truth that is presented to him and the crew. This also appears in another situation where he finds out the disappearance of his fellow crew member, Triggvi.…
