beam ends

The phrase "beam ends" generally refers to a situation in which a ship or boat is tilted or heeled over on its side, with its beams or sides almost parallel to the water surface. This can occur due to extreme weather conditions, such as heavy winds or strong waves, causing the vessel to lose stability and roll excessively. When a ship is on its beam ends, it is in a dangerous and unstable state which can potentially lead to capsizing or sinking.
