How not to be run down

Article Abstract:

The growing popularity of boating has made sea collisions highly probable. Thus, commercial and recreational vessels must be aware of safety measures to prevent such accidents. Recreational vessels are advised not to closely approach the bow of a ship to prevent being run down by the bigger vessel.
