A quick definition of unseaworthy:
Term: UNSEAWORTHY
Definition: Unseaworthy means that a boat or ship is not safe enough to travel on the sea. It is not strong enough to handle the dangers that come with a normal journey. The opposite of unseaworthy is seaworthy, which means that a vessel is safe and strong enough to travel on the sea.
A more thorough explanation:
UNSEAWORTHY
Unseaworthy means that a ship or boat is not safe to travel on because it cannot handle the dangers of a normal journey.
1. The captain refused to set sail because he knew the ship was unseaworthy and could not withstand the rough weather.
2. The cargo ship was deemed unseaworthy by the inspectors due to its old and rusty hull.
These examples illustrate that an unseaworthy vessel is not fit for travel because it cannot handle the normal dangers of a voyage. In the first example, the captain recognizes the danger of the rough weather and chooses not to risk the safety of the crew and passengers. In the second example, the inspectors determine that the ship's condition is not up to the required standards for safe travel.
