The following example illustrates the method by which the additional draught of water to which a vessel should be laden in water, partly salt, may be determined:—

A flush deck vessel of 20 feet moulded depth sails from Aberdeen Harbour. To what extent should she be laden beyond the load lino disc?

On referring to page 8 of the Freeboard Tables, it will be seen that this vessel should be laden deeper in fresh water than in salt to the extent of four inches. Also a cubic foot of fresh water weighs 1,000 ounces, while a cubic foot of the densest sea-water on the British Coast is found to weigh 1,025 ounces, the difference in weight being 25 ounces. The water in Aberdeen Harbour weighs 1,015 ounces per cubic foot, or 10 ounces less than salt water, and, as for a difference of 25 ounces in weight per cubic foot the increased immersion is 4 inches, it will be seen that the increased draught of water with which this vessel should leave Aberdeen Harbour is 10/25 ths of 4 inches, or about 1½ inches.
