Port is the Word for the left side of the ship.
If you aboard the ship and you face toward the front of the ship, the port side is the left side of the ship. So, the port side of a ship would show the port light.
The left of a ship is port and the right is starboard. Aft is the rear of a ship and the bow is the front of a ship.
The ends of a ship are fore (the front) and aft (the rear), the sides of a ship are port (the left-hand side of a ship as one faces forward) and starboard (the right-hand side of a ship as one faces forward)
Left side - is the port side of a ship. An easy way to remember is that if you stand facing the bow (front end) of the ship your left hand side is the port side, your right the starboard. Left is a shorter word than right, port is shorter word than starboard.
The bow of the ship (sometimes the stem, as in "stem to stern") is at the front, and the stern is at the back. The left side is the port side, and starboard is the right side.
bow=front stern=back port=left starboard=right 'a' in front means opposite(e.g. a-stern=front)
