Now, my guess is that the only thing that kept the Fitz from rolling over was its main deck embedded in the stem of the Crystal

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.
