Well the left side of a vessel used to be called the "Larboard" side of the vessel, while the right side was referred to the "Sterboard" side, this being the side steering gear was on. I am unsure of the exact period, but I do know that becomes of winds, high sea's and difficult communication in telling the differences between "sterboard" and "larboard" that the left side of the vessel was changed to the "Port side" (The side most often used to tie up for docking) and "sterboard" eventually became "Starboard". This eliminated all chances of confusion in communication.
