Nautical terminology

Nautical terminology refers to the specialized language used in maritime contexts. It includes terms for parts of a ship (like bow for the front, stern for the back), navigation (port for left, starboard for right), and sailing maneuvers (tacking and jibing). It also covers weather conditions, equipment names, and maritime regulations. Understanding this terminology is essential for safe communication among sailors and those involved in maritime activities, ensuring clarity and efficiency in operations at sea.
