Strange as it sounds, ships can be described as either Right or Left Handed.

It has nothing to do with which hand they naturally write with, but it actually tells us which way their propeller spins and the effect that it has on ship handling.

You may have heard the terms propeller walk, or transverse thrust before. These both describe the effect itself. Right handed and left handed is just the terms we use to know what was a ship's propeller spins and consequently what she will do when you run astern.
