Why Is It Called a "Cock-pit" On Planes and "Bridge" In Ships.

And bow and stern?

Bow is the front part of the hull of a ship while stern is the end part of the hull

In naval terms, there are no left and right. Port is the left side with respect to the bow (front of ship). So when the ship makes a 180 degree turn, the port side remain the same. Also the port side always display red and starboard side display green.

Good one Choburi.. bro you also in the Marine line?

Will someone who knows something about flying and the sea be kind to enlighten readers and contributors as to why on aeroplanes the area where the pilot and 1st officer sits and control is called the "cock-pit" and the on ships it is known as the Bridge.?

Bridge of the ship is an area above the main deck with an unobstructed view from which the ship is controlled.. In there will be the controls and steering of the ship operated by the Captain of the vessel and assisted by the Chief officer or the vessel's 2nd Mate..
