What do port and starboard ship lights look like?
AnswerIf you mean what colour the lights are then it's simple enough to remember - Port lights are red (just like the drink Port) and starboard lights are green. It's a bit harder to remember which is left and right but this may help - look towards the bow (pointed end of the ship), Port is the left hand side of the ship - both the words left and port have four letters. It's also important to remember that port and starboard refer to the ship's left and right sides not yours so port remains the left side of the ship regardless of your own physical position on it or the direction you are actually facing. Hope I've explained that okay.You can remember which side is port by the numonic saying "The ship left port" when a ship leaves port it is going out to sea, and port is the left hand side of the ship:-)
