53. Which item in the illustration is the point where the thrust of the towboat is transferred to the barges
Choice Q is correct; it identifies the bow pushing structure, the point where the towboat's thrust is transferred to the barges. This structure, often called tow knees, bears directly against the barges, transmitting the force from the propellers. Labels J, R, and S indicate other hull fittings that do not serve this purpose.
