List

When a vessel's masts are inclined from the perpendicular, or her decks from the horizontal she is said to have a list, provided that the inclination is caused by an unequal distribution of the cargo, or deck weights, or by the coal bunkers on one side of the vessel holding more coal than those on the opposite side. But the word list does not apply to the inclination of a vessel when she is borne over by the wind in sailing. (See Careen and Heeled Over.)
