Why do the sailors call the right
hand side OF tine ship "starboard" and
the left hand 'port?" For the answer
it is necessary to 20 back to the days
of the Norsemen and SaXons. In the
viking ships the warriors hung the
'bords," or shields, on the side of the
ship above the places for their oars.
The viking himself held the steer oar.
which was fastened To the right hand
side of the stern. Thus the right hand
side of the ship became known as the
steer side, and az the bords OF the war
riors were hung there il was called the
'steerbord." or starboard side, while
the lower, or lurking side, became the
larboard Bord eventually became cor
rupted into port.
