1. waterline

   A waterline refers to the line along the hull of a ship or boat that marks the level where the surface of the water intersects with it. In simple terms, it is the line that separates the immersed portion of the ship from the portion exposed to air. However, this line can change depending on the ship's load.

1. Waterline

   The Plimsoll Line is the line where the hull of a ship meets the surface of the water, in concept or reality. Specifically, it is also the name of a special marking, also known as the International Load Line or water line, that indicates the draft of the ship and the legal limit to which a ship may be loaded for specific water types and temperatures in order to safely maintain buoyancy, particularly with regard to the hazard of waves that may arise. Temperature affects the level because warm water provides less buoyancy, being less dense than cold water, as does salinity because fresh water is less dense than salty seawater. For vessels with displacement hulls, the hull speed is determined by, amongst other things, the waterline length. In a sailing boat, the waterline length can change significantly as the boat heels, and can dynamically affect the speed of the boat. The purpose of a load line is to ensure that a ship has sufficient freeboard and thus sufficient reserve buoyancy, indisputable seen from the outside. In aircraft design, the term "waterline" refers to the vertical location of items on the aircraft. This is the "Z" axis of an XYZ coordinate system, the other two axes being the Fuselage Station and Buttock Line.
