PETTY OFFICERS NAVAL SCHOOL ARC BARRANQUILLA

MARITIME ENGLISH CLASS. TOPIC: SHIP STRUCTURE (Exterior and Interior) PROJECT

Goal: Seamen will put into practice the Ship Structure (Exterior and Interior) vocabulary in English.

Seamen’s names: SEAMAN FIRST MARRUGO TEHERAN CARLOS ALBERTO AND SEAMAN FIRST
CONTRERAS YARA OSCAR JAVIER Class: CAPINTE.

Date: JULY 23RD/21.

CHEATING OR PLAGIARIZING YOUR PROJECTS WILL HAVE A RESULT OF ZERO (0.0). THERE HAVE
ALREADY BEEN STUDENTS PENALIZED WITH A ZERO (0.0) BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION. AVOID
UNNECESSARY SANCTIONS.

INSTRUCTIONS: This project will be done in groups of two seamen. You will put into practice the
vocabulary you researched related to the Ship Structure (Exterior and Interior) vocabulary. This
project has two parts: Oral and Written.

Oral Part.

Each seaman will choose one of the two texts (1. Ship Structure: Exterior; 2. Ship Structure:
Interior) to present in a video that you will upload on Blackboard or email
(escobarnixon1@gmail.com) to your wonderful professor. Example, one group is by Seaman 1 and
Seaman 2; so Seaman 1 chooses “Ship Structure: Exterior,” and Seaman 2 chooses “Ship Structure:
Interior.” Each cabin boy has to say his name, and the chosen text. Suggestion: Record your video
in a quiet environment and try to watch the camera at all time. Check my example:
 Recording example: Hello, my name’s Seaman Marrugo Teheran Carlos
Alberto from class: Capinte and my text is: Ship Structure: Interior:

A ship that takes in a lot of water is doomed to sink. But the interiors of
naval ships are designed to avoid such a disaster.
A boat is separated into small compartments. Partitions separate the
aisles from each compartment. Special partitions called bulkheads have
watertight doors. They prevent water from reaching other compartments.
The floors of each platform and level are also separated from each other.
Closed hatches seal the roof of each deck to prevent the spread of wear.
When open, the hatches allow sailors to move between decks on ladders.
The ship's command center is located on the highest platform. Here the
captain and crew can inspect conditions in all directions.
Seawater is allowed into certain areas, such as the head, to remove
debris. Of course, this incoming water is carefully controlled with valves
and pumps. Thank you.

Written Part.

The two seamen will do the exercises related to the topic Ship Structure Exterior, and Ship
Structure Interior and upload them on Blackboard.

This is the explanation of the activities:

Estructura del Buque: Interior

Un buque que toma mucha agua está condenado a hundirse. Pero los interiores de los buques
navales están diseñados para evitar tal desastre.
Un buque está separado en pequeños compartimentos. Las particiones separan los pasillos de
cada compartimento. Las particiones especiales llamadas mamparos tienen puertas estancas.
Evitan que el agua llegue a otros compartimentos.

Los pisos de cada plataforma y nivel también están separados entre sí. Las escotillas cerradas
sellan el techo de cada cubierta para evitar la propagación del desgaste. Cuando están abiertas, las
escotillas permiten a los marineros moverse entre cubiertas en escaleras. El centro de mando de la
nave se encuentra en la plataforma más alta. Aquí, el capitán y la tripulación pueden inspeccionar
las condiciones en todas las direcciones.

Se permite el ingreso de agua de mar en ciertas áreas, como la cabeza, para eliminar los desechos.
Por supuesto, esta agua entrante se controla cuidadosamente con válvulas y bombas.

PART 1. Comprehension. Write the words of the Wordbank in the correct spaces.

Type Parts of a ships

Openings Hatches
Separators Bulkheads
Floors Ship Deck
Rooms Compartments

PART 2. Vocabulary. Write the letters (A, B, C, D, etc) in the correct spaces.

1. We checked the watertight divider that separates areas of the ship for leaks Bulkhead
2. The second floor that extends partway across the ship needs cleaning Level
3. Please form a single line in the narrow hallway connecting different areas Passageway
4. We repaired the hole in the celling of the deck Overhead
5. The captain locked the door to his enclosed area on the ship Compartment
6. The divider between two area keeps each compartment separate Partition

PART 3. Classify the words of the Wordbank in the correct spaces.

1. Climb up the ladder to the main deck

2. We repaired the deck in the floor of the third level
3. The head is closed because a valve is broken and waste cannot be removed
4. Damage to the hull caused a lower hatch to flood
5. Navigators work from the platform because it is higher that most of the ship
6. a watertight door seals bulkhead

PART 4. Answer the question with your information or opinion. Be sure to support your answers.

The difference between hatches and doors is that closed hatches seal the roof of each deck to
prevent the spread of wear and tear and doors do not.
 Recording example: Hello, my name’s Seaman Oscar Contreras Yara from
class: Capinte alpha and my text is: Ship Structure: Exterior: A Navy ship
must be durable and balanced to handle long periods at sea. The hull
needs strong shell plating. Areas below the waterline up to the freeboard
must resist constant water pressure. Higher up, solid bulwarks are
needed to protect the weather deck.
A ship's superstructures must withstand powerful wind and sea spray. A
well-maintained mast is especially important to keep safety lights
working. Underneath the ship, the propeller powers the ship. Proper
maintenance of these screws prevents serious failures at sea.
Staying upright is a vital function of a ship's design. The weight of the keel
centers the ship. The stem extends from the keel to the forecastle,
keeping balance at the ship's front. The sternpost extends from the keel
to the fantail, keeping balance at the rear. Thank you

R/ ESTRUCTURA DEL BUQUE EXTERIOR

Un buque de la Armada debe ser duradero y equilibrado para soportar largos periodos en el mar.
El casco necesita un fuerte revestimiento. Las zonas situadas por debajo de la línea de flotación
hasta el francobordo deben resistir la presión constante del agua. Más arriba, se necesitan sólidos
baluartes para proteger la cubierta de intemperie.
Las superestructuras de un buque deben resistir el fuerte viento y el rocío del mar. Un mástil bien
mantenido es especialmente importante para que las luces de seguridad funcionen. Debajo del
buque, la hélice impulsa la nave. El mantenimiento adecuado de estos tornillos evita fallos graves
en el mar.
Mantenerse erguido es una función vital del diseño de un buque. El peso de la quilla centra el
buque. La roda se extiende desde la quilla hasta el castillo de proa, manteniendo el equilibrio en la
parte delantera del barco. El codaste se extiende desde la quilla hasta la cola de la embarcación,
manteniendo el equilibrio en la parte trasera. Gracias

R/ It is important since the salinity causes the parts to oxidize and by applying good maintenance
to them, additional work is avoided while sailing and likewise it is the highest part of a ship that
has the navigation lights, our guide in the dark on the high seas
