Mnemonic


the 旁 ship captain is somewhat akin to the 立 guard of the ship, ensuring all have a safe voyage. This one wears a white 冖 crown and holds a special 方 compass to help with navigation. Try to picture a prototypical 旁 ship captain, the type found in stories and fiction. A bit rough around the edges.
