Question 1798 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 11'-00". The draft is determined by the water level in relation to the draft marks on the ship's hull. In the illustration D032DG, the water level is at the bottom of the number 11, indicating a draft of 11 feet. The other options are incorrect because: A) 10'-09" is too low, as the water level is above the 11-foot mark. C) 11'-06" is too high, as the water level is at the bottom of the 11-foot mark, not the 11.5-foot mark. D) 10'-06" is too low, as the water level is above the 11-foot mark.
