The ships name.
The ends of a ship are fore (the front) and aft (the rear), the sides of a ship are port (the left-hand side of a ship as one faces forward) and starboard (the right-hand side of a ship as one faces forward)
This is a ship that is leaning on one side or the other.
In ship building a seam that runs forward and aft not side to side.
"Aft" is not a specific PART of a ship, but rather a direction. Instead of north-south-east-west, directions on board ship are given as fore and aft, port and starboard. Aft would refer to "toward the rear of the ship". Fore is forward, port is toward the left side, and starboard is toward the right side.
They were facing each other, standing near the side of the ship facing into the ship they could see the ocean by looking past the other marine.
Horses have 2 sides (fore and oft (or off)). The correct side for most things equine will be on the fore side which is the left side of the horse (or pony). It is the same side that the bridles buckles are on, the same side that saddles are tightened on. The correct way to get on and off is the fore side and this is the side a person will stand on while working a horse in-hand (halter and showmanship classes, pony rides, ect.).
If you aboard the ship and you face toward the front of the ship, the port side is the left side of the ship. So, the port side of a ship would show the port light.
...Is "aport": On a ship, while facing forward, the left side of the ship is called "port" and the right side of the ship is called "starboard".
The left side of a ship or plane.
The right side of a ship is called the star-board side.
