I'm sure @Gary James can provide a little background to this but here is the Manchester City ship parked up at Salford docks

In nautical terms that bit at the front (where the name is) is called the bow, or sometimes the prow.
That's what Captain Birdseye told me anyway !!
(10cc song The Dean and I -

My name's lit up on the prow" )
Here endeth the lesson !!

I heard there was a rag ship too, but it sank around 10 years ago due to being overloaded with expensive cargo nobody else wanted.
