🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic shipboard directions: bow, stern, port, starboard • How we describe locations between abeam and astern • Difference between dead astern, abeam, and the areas just forward or aft of these points

💭 Think About

• Picture yourself standing at the center of the vessel looking forward. Where would you point to if asked to indicate the vessel’s quarter? • Which option describes an area that is not directly to the side and not directly astern, but somewhere between? • Think about common phrases like “on the starboard quarter” that watchstanders use. Where do they usually look when they hear that?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what dead astern means (exactly 180° from the bow). • Be clear on what abeam means (exactly 90° off the bow on either side). • Identify which choice describes the region between abeam and astern on each side of the vessel.
