Geeze Rick, For someone playing tugboat capt instead of being one you
have lots of room to talk right.

TPI = 1/35 (A x1/12) =A/420 where A is the
waterplane area for a particular draft in square feet.

The ship was approx 250 foot est 300-500 tons empty.
A cord of Oak weighs 2 tons.

Thats 260 tons cargo shipped aboard.

Like I said a flik flub but no the less a good story.

Jeff your the wannabe..... know it all..... smart lipped..tugboat

Just for the fun of it, pick a beam you consider consistent with the
length you give (ignore hull shape, we'll consider her a boxy old tub),
and using your formula and weight loaded, see what you get for change of
draft.
