Larboard is an antiquated expression for the port side of a boat.

If you are standing at the stern (back end) of a boat and you are looking in direction of the bow, the side right of you is the "starboard" (or starbord) side, the side left of you the "port" (or larboard) side.

When did port side replace larboard?

The term "port" replaced "larboard" in the 19th century, specifically around the 1840s. The change was made to avoid confusion between "larboard" and "starboard," especially in verbal communication, as both terms sounded similar. The adoption of "port" provided a clearer distinction for navigators and sailors.

What is the definition of larboard?

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.
