∙ 7y agoPort and starboard are descriptive way to describe locations on a boat. For r the same retcons that compasses aren't marked front, back, left and right ships have direction unique to themselves. Fore is at the front and aft (from the dutch "abaft" meaning following) are easy no determine but starboard (right side of the boat when you face the front or prow) and port, the left, are a bit more mysterious.For the origin of these terms you have to go back to time when boats rudders were on the side, not the aft end. This side was known as the steering side or rudder side which eventually became "starboard". As the rudder was on the right the boats would moor with the side of the boat without the rudder towards the dock to prevent damage to the steering system. This side faced the port. It became the port side.
