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 origin of this term is still a mystery. Some boaters are very particular and if you ask them to help you with your ropes will act like they do not know what you are talking about. Annoying? Yes. You have been warned! Bow and Stern = Front and Back . The front of the boat is called the bow. The rear is the stern. If someone asks you to âthrow me the bowline,â you should toss him the rope at the front of the boat. Head = Bathroom . A bathroom on a boat is called a head. Again, how did this term come about?
