Just to raise a subject, Can someone explain, "Deadweight"
"Gross weight," "Displacement" and "tonnage?" And while I'm at it. Why did ships still have two tall masts long after the days of sail? And if the Union flag is only the Union Jack when flying from the Jack staff. Why didn't they just call the Jack staff a flag pole, and save the confusion? Gotta go! The White coats are comming! Cheers, Albi.
