This document defines basic ship terminology including key points like the after and forward perpendiculars which define the length between perpendicular used to define the ship's dimensions. It also lists ship measurements like breadth, depth, draught, and freeboard as well as design elements like the center line, camber, rise of floor, and tumble home. Finally, it mentions the 6 degrees of freedom that describe a ship's motion.
