To such we would say, that upon the principal di-mensions of a vessel depends her stability, inasmuch as the cen-tre of gravity takes its position from the distribution of weight,so the index of stability takes a determinate locality from theamount of buoyancy distributed in the sides or bottom of thevessel. If the vessel has a large bottom or great breadth, thevertical or upward pressure is proportionately great; while, onthe other hand, if the vessel be deep, with less breadth, the sides vol. i.—no. in. 1 146 The Monthly Nautical Magazine. receive a corresponding amount of horizontal, and, as a conse-quence, less vertical pressure ; hence we find narrow vesselsrequiring ballast to enable them to maintain an upright position,while the better proportioned vessel is secure with an emptyhold.
