"For centuries sailors did not call the left side of a ship port. They called it larboard while the right side was known as starboard. Starboard came from the Old English word for steering since early ships were guided with a steering oar mounted on the right side. The problem was sound. Larboard and starboard sounded almost identical when shouted over wind waves and cannon fire. That confusion could cause serious errors during maneuvers especially in busy harbors or rough seas where clear commands mattered. To fix this navies gradually replaced larboard with port in the 19th century. Port"
