SIDE
SIDE, (coté, Fr.) a name given to the flanks of a ship, or in general to all that part which is presented to the view between the stem and Stern, in a direction nearly perpendicular to the horizon.The figure of the side is formed by that of the timbers upon which it is constructed. It is covered with planks, extending from one end of the ship to the other; it is also reinforced in different places by beams, clamps, knees, riders, and standards. See those articles.
The side is terminated above by the gunnel, and below by the lower edge of the main wale, which separates it from the bottom: it is inclosed by the stern abaft, and by the bow forward.
