S2:E37 What's our draft?

celebrity Beyond is 69 M or 226.24 6 feet and this is what tends to surprise people because that means that only a seventh of the ship is underwater

we have draft marks painted on the ship's side at the bow mid ships and near the stern which we can use to visually compare with our stability computers

our draft in under keal clearance which is the amount of water between the bottom of the ship and the seabed will determine where we can go because if there isn't enough clearance we don't go

a long time ago I did a hull inspection dive in a port where I was able to put my fin on the seabed and could just touch the Keel of the ship
