The Romans came by ship and saw the entry of the river as port for docking at Dover
The rope used to tie up a ship is called a mooring line or a docking line.
As far as I know that is an anti-Irish urban legend.
When you let down the sails of a ship, it is called "lowering the sails." This action is typically performed to reduce the ship's speed or to prepare for docking. It can also be referred to as "taking in the sails" if the sails are being secured or stowed away.
Berthing time refers to the time at which a ship or vessel arrives at a berth or docking area. It is the scheduled time for the ship to dock and begin the process of unloading or loading cargo, passengers, or supplies.

In older days it may have been more important to load from the left side of the ship (larboard. Now port side), now with the advent of large cranes the ship side may not be as important as the docking and un-docking due to its size. Stability also plays a big importance in the proper loading.
Docking is a process in which two molecules interact to form a stable complex, typically in the context of drug design and molecular biology. It involves predicting the binding orientation and affinity between a ligand (small molecule) and a receptor (protein) through computational algorithms. Docking helps in understanding molecular interactions and designing new drugs.
Robert Docking was born on 1925-10-09.
A ship can be 'on' a berth, which means is is moored (tied up) alongside a specific place called a berth in the dock. Or a berth is also used to describe a place for a crew member on board ship.
The line on the side of a ship is commonly referred to as a "fender line" or simply a "fender." It is used to protect the hull of the ship from damage when docking or mooring by providing a cushioning barrier between the ship and the dock or other vessels. Additionally, lines used for mooring and securing the ship to a dock are typically called "mooring lines."
