Big ship on the river

[worcestermakem]

A google search also throws up the theory that if a boat turns right it will lean (or whatever the nautical term for leaning is, bank or pitch or something) to the right, when a ship turns to the right it will lean to the left. Is this right?

Port and Starboard actually.

I don't know if it's a ship, a boat or a rig but I do know it's a noisy twat. There's a constant noise from it's motors or whatever they are!

There were two similar vessels in Blyth recently. One was jacked up and looked quite impressive.

Whatever it is it's a noisy fukker.
I'm also not sure why every time it moves a few feet the captain of the ship feels he needs to wake the whole of the East side of Sunderland up by blowing its stupid horn!

Stop moaning man, the port has been here for hundreds of years, it makes the City what it is, along with all the history of shipbuilding and all that.

"HONK HONK HONK!" waking you up at 6am is unnecessary. Do these people know it can be heard in SR6?
