What side of a boat is a starboard on?
If you are facing the front (bow) of a boat, starboard will be on your right. If you are facing the back end (stern) of the boat, starboard will be on your left. The opposite side of the boat is called "port" because on boats with steering oars, the oar was located on what we call the starboard side, so the boats would tie up to the dock on the other "port" side of the boat, i.e. the Port they were tied up to was situated to the "port" side of the ship.

What do you call the pin that holds the oar in place?
A rowlock or oarlock (US) is a brace that attaches an oar to a boat. When a boat is rowed, the rowlock acts as a fulcrum, and, in doing so, the propulsive force that the rower exerts on the water with the oar is transferred to the boat by the thrust force exerted on the rowlock.
When on board and facing the front of the board where is the starboard located?
Facing the front (bow) of the boat, starboard is to your right, port to your left. Long ago, boats were steered with a steering oar mounted on the right rear. That "steer board" on the right would be in the way when a ship docked, so it docked on the left side. That was where you got off the boat- when in "port". On the port side.
