Since we don't have a dedicated ship form, unlike trains, planes and automobiles (:p:)) I'm sticking this here.


Not the best photo, but I couldn't get any closer while keeping the angle on the front of the ship.

Really short and tall bow, have seen an article them before but cannot for the life of me remember what it's called.
