LAP-SIDED

LAP-SIDED, (bordier, Fr.) the state of a ship, which is built in such a manner as to have one side heavier than the other; and, by consequence, to retain a constant heel, or inclination towards the heaviest tide; unless when she is brought upright, by placing a greater quantity of the cargo, or ballast, on the other tide. See BALLAST.
