Wikipedia definition
2. Draft (hull)​The draft (or draught) of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull, with the thickness of the hull included; in the case of not being included the draft outline would be obtained. Draft determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate. The draft can also be used to determine the weight of the cargo on board by calculating the total displacement of water and then using Archimedes' principle.
