They still need to release the bow and then move a damaged container ship to the nearest dock where she can be repaired. Depending on the damages she might not be easy to move along the canal.

Yes. Bow = front, stern = rear, port = left, starboard = right.

Also, "gunwales" is pronounced "gunnels", and most modern ships don't actually have a poop deck.

For want of a bribe the pilot was lost
For want of a pilot steering was lost
For want of steering the route was lost
For want of a route the ship was lost
For want of a ship 100,000 sex arses and several days of international trade was lost
