    If the Captain actually ordered that, I wonder if the helmsman would know what it means. This post was edited by Element 99 at April 6, 2022 6:33 AM MDT

    I had to' look-it-up and I thought it was just a made up phrase the side of the ship where loading happens.

    E --   "42"

    (As little as I know of ship and boat details, I'm also sort of lost in seeing the number "42" meaning all sorts of things it seems to me.)
