"Power gives way to sail,"
Not quite that simple, unfortunately - I think there's some caveats that apply if the powered vessel is more than 500 tonnes and/or in a waterway with restricted manouvering options for large vessels.
Or, as my son puts it, plastic gives way to steel, especially very large steel that could crush you and not leave a trace.
