This Plimsoll line shows the density of water. Each line show how high or low from the water a boat will be depending on the density. TF stands for tropical fresh water. F stands for fresh water. T stands for tropical salt water. S stands for salt water in summer. W stands for salt water in winter and WNA stands for Winter North Atlantic. Each one stands for a different form of density.
