WHAT DOES LARBOARD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

larboard

Port and starboard

Port and starboard are nautical terms which refer to the left and right sides, respectively, of a ship as perceived by a person on board facing the bow. In lay terms, when standing on the bridge of a ship looking toward the bow, starboard refers to the right side of the ship, port refers to the left side. At night, the port side of a vessel is indicated with a red navigation light and the starboard side with a green one. These terms can also be applied to aircraft, particularly to airships in naval use, and eventually for all forms of heavier-than-air aircraft, particularly for the waterborne seaplane, existing in both floatplane and especially for flying boats of both civilian and military types, with aircraft of all types even adopting similar navigation lights to those of boats and ships. The starboard side of most naval vessels the world over is designated the "senior" side. The officers' gangway or sea ladder is shipped on this side and this side of the quarterdeck is reserved for the captain. The flag or pennant of the ship's captain or senior officer in command is generally hoisted on the starboard yard. view of RMS Titanic's port side...
