Stern The stern of the cargo ship Sichem Princess Marie-Chantal. The stern is the back or aft-most part of a ship or boat, technically defined as the area built up over the sternpost, extending upwards from the counter rail to the taffrail. The stern lies opposite of the bow, the foremost part of a ship. Originally, the term only referred to the aft port section of the ship, but eventually came to refer to the entire back of a vessel. The stern end of a ship is indicated with a white navigation light at night.

What are the bow and stern of a boat? There are a lot of special words people use to talk about boats and ships. Some, like starboard and port are used to talk about the right and left sides of a ship. The bow (which rhymes with cow) of a ship is the front of the ship. The stern is the back! If you hear someone say Mermaid, off the starboard bow! it means they see a mermaid in the water in front of the ship, to the right side. Of course, if they say they see a mermaid, they're probably joking.
