...stowage, is that the centre of gravity of all the weights be in the right point longitudinally, that is, in the same vertical line as the centre of gravity of the ship, so that she may float at the water line determined for her. This point is determined in the construction... | |

...those generally in use. That the centre of gravity of the ship with its contents is always situated in the same vertical line as the centre of gravity of the displacement, does not admit of a simple practical illustration, inasmuch as the centre of gravity... | |

...sufficient to state, that stable equilibrium ensues when the centre of gravity of the floating solid is in the same vertical line as the centre of gravity of the portion of fluid displaced, and as respects position beneath it. These considerations are of great... | |

The combined centre of gravity of machine and foundation should be, to the extent possible, in the same vertical line as the centre of gravity of the base line.
