Larboard is an old sailing term for what is now referred to as the port side of a vessel. It is a contraction of 'Loading Board', which was generally on that side of the vessel away from the steering oar or board. Which is where we also get the term starboard, a corruption of steering board.
The old name for the port side is 'larboard' which starts with 'L' for 'left'.'Port' has four letters and so does 'left'.The port side shows a red light and port wine is red.
In the oldest of sailing days the left side of the ship was called the "larboard" side. The right side was "steorbord" which is now "Starboard", it said that the name came literally from the side of the ship was steered from. larboard was too easily confused in high winds or loud sounds with starboard, so it was changed to "port side" which was the side of the ship cargo was loaded on from the docks.
