The waterline is where the hull of a ship meets the surface of the water, it is also a special marking indicating the legal load limit of a ship, and, in naval architectural plans, it is any line drawn to delineate hull shape that is in a plane parallel to the surface of the water.
Waterline or water line may also refer to:
Columbus is a Latinized version of the Italian surname "Colombo". It most commonly refers to:
A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top, or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
A pilot is a person who flies or navigates an aircraft, ship or U.F.O.

Bassett-Lowke was an English toy manufacturing company based in Northampton. Founded by Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke in 1898 or 1899, the company specialized in model railways, boats and ships, and construction sets. Bassett-Lowke started as a mail-order business, although it designed and manufactured some items.
The waterline is the line where the hull of a ship meets the surface of the water. Specifically, it is also the name of a special marking, also known as an international load line or Plimsoll line, that indicates the draft of the ship and the legal limit to which a ship may be loaded for specific water types and temperatures in order to safely maintain buoyancy, particularly with regard to the hazard of waves that may arise. Varying water temperatures will affect a ship's draft, because warm water is less dense than cold water, providing less buoyancy. In the same way, fresh water is less dense than salinated or seawater with a similar lessening effect upon buoyancy.

Ø is a Scandinavian vowel letter.
Downtown is the American term for the central business district of a city.
The draft or draught of a ship is a determined depth of the vessel below the waterline, measured vertically to its hull's lowest—its propellers, or keel, or other reference point. Draft varies according to the loaded condition of the ship. A deeper draft means the ship will have greater vertical depth below the waterline. Draft is used in under keel clearance calculations, where the draft is calculated with the available dept of water to ensure the ship can navigate safely, without grounding. Navigators can determine their draught by calculation or by visual observation.
