The Inclining Experiment
Yesterday was an interesting day onboard the ship, yesterday The Inclining experiment was performed. It is one of those things few sailors get to participate in. the Inclining Experiment is performed to determine the vessel's lightweight and its centre of gravity. The stability information of the ship will based on the results of the test. On this occasion Captain, Chief Mate, & Chief Engineer were able to participate. It was a long process but very interesting to see.
