- hinkley 4y agoBut if you have a steering board on the other side of your ship, it's a lot easier to dock facing the other way.
- gkoberger 4y agoFrom Wikipedia: “Vessels with bilateral symmetry have left and right halves which are mirror images of each other. One asymmetric feature is where access to a boat, ship, or aircraft is at the side, it is usually only on the port side (hence the name)”
- callamdelaney 4y agoThere are definitely more boats with bilateral symmetry than asymmetric these days.
- mr_toad 4y agoPassenger vessels typically dock port side to the dock. Same with aircraft.
