Thus the City first presented itself to the eye, with its stern to the east, and its prow to the west.

Its width depends on the design of the boat, its rig, and its sails, as well as on the wind strength and the sea state.

There is still 14 000 tonnes on board, 13 300 in the stem, 700 in the stern.

These boats are decorated with four allegorical statues by Jean Antoine Injalbert (named an officer of the Légion d'honneur on the day of the bridge's inauguration) The City of Paris (prow of the boat on the right bank), Navigation (stern), Abundance (prow of the boat of the left bank) and Commerce (stern).

George said he should be happy to be number four, and promptly stepped into bow's place, and sat down with his back to the stern.

Secondary and light guns The six guns were mounted in casemates in the hull, two each at the bow and stern and the last two amidships.

He continued to struggle against the violent and narrow current, which separates the prow of the City and the stem of the island of Notre Dame, which we call to day the Isle St. Louis.

Instead, Howe ordered each of his ships to turn individually towards the French line, intending to breach it at every point and rake the French ships at both bow and stern.

But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

Orders were issued for each ship to attach strong cables to the bow and stern of their neighbours, which would effectively turn the line into a long battery forming a theoretically impregnable barrier.

You fellas, go aft.

That we can meet each other and talk calmly, without so many regulations.

Why, it's up forward.

And another one comes and slaps the aft and knocks it down.

It said Yorktown on the stern.

The stern lies opposite of the bow, the foremost part of a ship.

Grappling hooks to larboard.

The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is usually most forward when the vessel is underway.

I'll climb over his stern rail or sail the bottom out of us.

Listen, we want you on the prow of that boat.

Suppose we had touched with our prow (the prow of a rudder!) the southern shore of the Liedenbrock sea, what would have become of us?

When the front of the ship rises, you lean forward, till the deck almost touches your nose and when its back end gets up, you lean backwards. This is all very well for an hour or two but you can't balance yourself for a week.

I'm gonna cut plumb across his bow!

That Jennie Cushman, she is even now under our stern!

Forward gunners, fire as hard as they can load!

The bird directive and the habitat directive epitomise biodiversity protection.

And finally, the bow of the Titanic, without movie stars, photographed by Emory Kristof.

Over the next three weeks, she received repairs of the damage to her bow.

Bilateral trade agreements have been gaining traction lately.

Lips was the Greek deity of the southwest wind, often depicted holding the stern of a ship.

Look, there's a whale breaching off the starboard bow!

Here is the bow of Titanic this is where 'Jack', of course, was 'King of the World', at that spot. (Chuckles)

Water had to be pumped out of her hold on a daily basis just to keep her afloat, and her stern was in danger of falling off.
