Sailors refer to the left side of a ship as the "port" side. This term helps distinguish it from the right side, which is called the "starboard" side. The use of these specific terms helps prevent confusion, especially when navigating or giving directions on board. The origin of "port" comes from the side of the ship that faces the port or harbor when docked.

In very old sailing vessels, the ship didn't have a rudder built into the ship; instead, a long oar-shaped "Steering board" was mounted near the stern of the ship, and generally on the right side. This steering board could be damaged if it banged into the dock, and so generally the ship came to the pier with the left side of the ship. We now call the left side the "port" side of the ship, and the right side is the "steering board" or "starboard" side.
