I believe the answer is:

berths

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sailors' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for berths that I've seen before include "Bunks; moorings" , "Beds on ship or train" , "Beds on boats" , "Docks" , "Beds in cabins" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
