3. Clipper Ship BOW MID SHIP SECTION STERN Part is Yellow or Grey

4. Clipper Ship Cargo Ship
Clipper Ship is a very fast multiple-masted sailing ship. Generally narrow for its length, limited in its bulk freight carrying capacities, the clipper ships have a large relative sail area.
A Cargo Ship or freighter is any sort of ship or vessel that carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port to another. Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, often being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes.

5. Definitions:
Stern:
The stern is the rear or aft part of a ship or boat.
The stern area has always been the location near the steering apparatus, and by extension became the domain of the ship's captain and other officers
Bow:
The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat.
The bow is designed to reduce the resistance of the hull cutting through water and should be tall enough to prevent water from easily washing over the top of it.
