A boat's propulsion can be by propellers, oars, paddles, setting poles, sails, paddlewheels, or water jets. Boats are generally smaller than ships.
The roughly horizontal, but cambered structures spanning the hull of the boat are referred to as the "deck". In a ship there are often several, but a boat is unlikely to have more than one. The similar but usually lighter structure which spans a raised cabin is a coach-roof. The "floor" of a cabin is properly known as the sole but is more likely to be called the floor. (A floor is properly, a structural member which ties a frame to the keelson and keel.) The underside of a deck is the deck head.
The vertical surfaces dividing the internal space are "bulkheads". The front of a boat is called the bow or prow. The rear of the boat is called the stern. The right side is starboard and the left side is port. Many boats have a section called the gralper, designed to reduce water flow to the non-aerodynamic parts of the boat.
  
 
 
Boat anchor

In computing, a boat anchor is a piece of useless computer hardware - so-called because theoretically their only productive use is to be thrown into the water as a boat mooring (a common use for large obsolete or non-functional pieces of machinery).

Early computers, where the term originated, were physically large and heavy devices, making them eminently suitable for such a use.

The original meaning was simply that the computer gear in question was obsolete, and no longe useful.

The correct solution for dealing with Boat Anchors in source code is to remove them from the code base and to place them in a separate location so that they can be referred to if necessary, but will not be compiled or be mistaken as "working" code.

In amateur radio, a boat anchor is an old piece of radio equipment. In this case they may not be considered useless as there are many aficionados that love their old boat anchor radio equipment.

The term was used by amateur radio operators long before computers were common place. The following are three theories on the origin of the term.

The most common means are:

Human power (rowing, paddling, setting pole etc.)
wind power (sailing)
Motor powered screws
Inboard
Internal Combustion (gasoline, diesel)
Steam (Coal, fuel oil)
Nuclear (for LARGE boats)
Inboard/Outboard
Gasoline
Diesel
Outboard
Gasoline
Electric
Paddle Wheel
Water Jet (Jet ski, Personal water craft, Jetboat)
Air Fans (Hovercraft, Air boat)
