Where can I find teminology for parts of a boat?

Question

I need to identify certain parts of a simple row boat frame for a project - anyone know of a site that names these parts? It has to be the correct terminology.

Answer 1

Some would be gunnel, thwart, tholepin, bow, stern, oarlock, oars, painter, port side, starboard side, etc.

Some rowboats also have a mast and sail.  Then there would need to be a rudder of some sort - the rudder could be an oar.

These are the only links I could find.  Hope they help.

Answer 2
