英语词汇plimsoll mark的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Plimsoll mark; plimsolls. The Plimsoll mark or line, adopted in 1876, was named in honor of maritime reformer Samuel Plimsoll’s suggestion that every vessel have a load line, a mark that indicates the limit to which a ship may be loaded. Located amidships on both sides of the vessel, it is a circle with a hori- zontal line drawn through it showing the water level at maxi- mum permitted loading. This innovation reformed shipping all over the globe, making Plimsoll’s name world famous. His name is also remembered by plimsolls, rubber-soled cloth shoes or sneakers with the rubber extending about halfway up the shoe, the line between cloth and rubber somewhat resembling a Plimsoll mark.
