70% to passYou are scheduled to load 4700 tons of cargo, 45 tons of crew effects and stores and 323 tons of fuel. Use the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the vessel's mean draft in fresh water.
The correct answer is B) 19'-07". To determine the vessel's mean draft in fresh water, we need to use the stability data reference book and the given information about the cargo, crew effects, stores, and fuel. The stability data book provides the necessary calculations to find the mean draft based on the vessel's displacement. With the given weights, the total displacement of the vessel can be calculated, and the corresponding mean draft in fresh water can be obtained from the book's blue pages. This is the standard procedure for determining a vessel's draft based on its loaded condition. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the mean draft based on the provided information and the stability data reference book calculations.
