Bow of the cruise ship Spirit of Endeavour. The bow /ËbaÊ/ is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is usually most forward when the vessel is underway. Both of the adjectives fore and forward mean towards the bow. The other end of the boat is the stern. 1 Etymology.
The right side of the boat is called the starboard side because it was the side the 'steering board', which we now call an oar or rudder was mounted. Starboard is the old seaman's bastardization of steering board. Since the steering board was mounted on the right side of the boat, that side could not be tied up to the warf or dock when in port. Therefore, the left side of the boat is called the port side because it was the side that was tied up to the warf or dock when in port.
