ship parts
Masts and rudders
The parts of a ship include structural components like the hull (the main body), bow (front), stern (rear), keel (bottom spine), and deck (floor surface).
Functional parts include the rudder for steering, anchor for mooring, mast for sails or equipment, and rigging for sail control.
Below deck, the hold stores cargo while the bilge collects water at the hull's lowest point.
