The stem post is high with a towing bitt behind, and with a canoe stern. He was frequently addressed as Mr. Pitt or Billy Bitt. USCGC "Bitt" (WYTL-65613) was a cutter in the US Coast Guard. Crewed by five personnel, "Bitt" was a small vessel displacing 74 tons. The rope is hauled over the bitt, pulling the vessel toward the bitt. Regardless of the nature of the transaction, they are all subject to BITT. In the second step, the rope is tied to the bitt, as shown.
