The question of the relation be-tween draught and strength of ships wasvery fully dealt with by the Load LineCommittee. This committee estimatedthe strength of various ships at theiramidships sections with steel scantlingsas fixed by the four principal registra-tion societies. The values were found tovary, and they were plotted as curveshaving for their base the length todepth ratio of the ship. Fair curves weredrawn for each society, representing theminimum values, and a minimum curvewas then drawn which was taken as astandard by the Load Line Committee. Itwas found that the strength of the sec-tion varied directly as the draught of theship, the beam, and as a factor dependingon the length of the ship. A standard oftransverse strength was also investigatedby the committee and determined
