Shipbuilding studies all the activities of manufacturing a ship or boat, all in terms of the design of its structure and the methods to be followed for constructive work.
First of all, before we begin naming the most basic parts of ships, it is important to be clear about what a ship is.
Ship
It is any object designed for navigation, for which it must have certain characteristics.
Buoyancy
Navigability
Watertight structure
Rugged construction
Helm
The structural body of the ship, its main requirement is the right shape, it must have minimum weight and maximum resistance, the speed will depend on it.
Double bottom, storage and structural details
It protects cargo from contamination in the event of a grounding, protects the boat from progressive flooding, and serves to pour water and ballast into the boat to minimize movement during a storm.
Stowage: from the roof of the double bottom to the immediate upper deck
Entrepuente: the space between the two bilges on the deck
Bilge keel: flat parts placed along the bilge along the entire length of the prismatic section of the hull to reduce the effect of lateral roll of ships
Bao: reinforcement of the roof plates, they can also be placed longitudinally, the bao are mounted at the same distance as the frames
Truncanil: The first row of decking boards covering the top of the frames
Deck: the upper closure of the hull, which contributes to its watertightness and allows the creation of a living space for the crew
Hatch: a large square or rectangular opening left at various points in the ship's deck compartments to descend to the lower ones and enter or retrieve weapons or cargo effects
Vagra: a longitudinal structural element parallel to the keel that reinforces the hull against bending.
