– A ship's place at a wharf. Also a sleeping-place on board ship.

Bow
– The fore-end of a ship.

Bridge
– The raised platform from where a ship is steered.

Bulkhead
– The upright partition dividing a ship's watertight compartments.

Collapsible
– A boat with canvas sides, allowing for easy storage.

C.Q.D.
– The international maritime distress call, standing for ‘Come Quick, Danger.'

Crow's nest
– A shelter for lookouts fixed to the mast-head of a ship.

Davit
– One of a pair of cranes used for hanging or lowering lifeboats.

Dry-dock
– A basin from which water has been pumped out in order to allow the building or repair of a ship.

Falls
– The ropes of hoisting-tackle, used in lowering lifeboats.

Forward
– Towards the bow.

Gunwale
– The upper edge of a boat's side.

Hull
– A ship's frame.

Knot
– Unit of speed equivalent to one nautical mile per hour. There are 6,080ft in a nautical mile.

Painter
– Rope attached to the bow of a boat for making it fast to a ship or a stake.

Poop
– The after-most and highest deck on the stern of the ship.

Port
– The left-hand side of a ship, looking forward.

Slipway
– The artificial slope down which a ship is launched.

Starboard
– The right-hand side of a ship, looking forward.

Steerage
– The area of a ship allocated to the passengers paying the cheapest fares. In the case of the
Titanic
, this was third-class.

Stern

Stoker
– A member of the ship's crew who tends the furnace.

Strake
– Continuous line of planking or plates from stem to stern of ship.

Thwart

Amerika
– German liner which reported to the US Navy's Hydrographic Office in Washington at 1.45 p.m. on 14 April that she had passed two large icebergs at 41:27 north 50:8 west.

Baltic
– White Star liner which warned the
Titanic
of ice at 1.42 p.m. on 14 April.

Californian
– Leyland Line freighter which left Liverpool for Boston on 5 April 1912. Intrigue and speculation continue to surround her lack of response to the stricken
Titanic
despite being less than 20 miles from the sinking vessel. Did she see, but ignore, the
Titanic
's distress rockets and was she the mystery ship seen on the horizon by some survivors? The
Californian
finally went to the
Titanic
's aid just after 6 a.m. – nearly four hours after she went down – but by then it was too late. The
Californian
– and her Captain, Stanley Lord – were painted as the villains of the piece by both the US and British inquiries. She was sunk by a German submarine in 1917.

Caronia
– Cunard liner journeying east from New York to Liverpool and which was the first to warn the
Titanic
of ice in the vicinity. The
Titanic
received the wireless message at 9 a.m. on 14 April even though it had been sent two days previously.

Carpathia
– Mediterranean-bound Cunard liner which, although 58 miles away, sped to the assistance of the
Titanic
and ferried survivors to New York. Like the
Californian
, she was sunk by a German submarine during the First World War.

Frankfurt
– German steamer in the area of the sinking but which had difficulty establishing radio contact with the
Titanic
.

Mackay-Bennett
– Cable ship which set out from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to retrieve the bodies from the sea. Carrying over 100 coffins, she arrived at the scene of the disaster on 20 April 1912. Corpses with distinguishing features were embalmed and brought back to Halifax for identification but those which had deteriorated beyond recognition were weighted into sacks and buried at sea.

Mesaba
– Westbound vessel which reported a number of large icebergs in the area to the
Titanic
at 9.40 p.m. on 14 April. It was the sixth ice warning given to the
Titanic
that day and pinpointed the precise location where the
Titanic
was to meet her doom. Yet because the
Titanic
's wireless operator, Jack Phillips, was busy dealing with a backlog of messages, this warning was never delivered to either Captain Smith or the bridge.
