The question of ship measurements

[Nik_Tsep]

Hello! I have a question. On many drawings, I saw such a parameter as "Keel length for tonnage". Dear sages, tell me, what other parameters were taken into account when calculating the deadweight before the adoption of the Moorsom system? Or tell me where you can read more about this? Thank you in advance.

Sorry for the possible problems with the English language, I use an online translator

MAYBE this is addressed in The Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture by David Steel 1805 or The Shipbuilder's Repository 1788. If the information is there I wonder if it applies to other eras as well. I have copies of these books but they are in the US and I am not this week. Hope to see some responses from some members on this one.

Thank you, I found the book, I'm starting to read

Yes, there is, thank you very much! Page 212/213, data on the calculation of tonnage. Should I give a link?

Thank you for your advice! The link should lead to a page with an example of deadweight calculation and the necessary parameters.
