Position of beam/breadth

Hi,

viking north thanks for your advice once again, is what it I'll do.
I've had the experience to talk with people from other countries and everyone was made ​​reference to the great navigators .

jehardiman Thank you so much by the explication of the terms.
For me there is a problem because I can not quite understand when they are talking about ancient or modern English makes me a little confused.


Yesterday I went looking for the best bookstores for books about ships design or construction of ships that we have been talking here about, well, there is nothing of that here, you should see their faces looking at me I felt I was talking another language or something else

Thank you all.
