I'm confused. Do you mean BOW instead of STERN ?

Maybe you had better clean your glasses... '-)
That word was, "stem" -- as in "STEM".
Must admit the lowercase "m" in some fonts can be confused with, "rn"...
I don't normally use Wikipedia -- but they got this one right:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Stem (ship) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_(ship) The stem is the most forward part of a boat or ship's bow and is an extension of the keel itself.
