As you stand on a ship and face the prow, the left hand side is called Port and the right hand side is called Starboard.
Port and starboard are nautical terms which refer to the left and right sides.

Starboard on any boat or ship is the righthand side, port is the lefthand side. Port use to be called larboard.

The in-side! Sorry, starboard.
"Starboard" is the right-hand side of a ship or aircraft as one faces forward. The opposite side is called "port".
In 1912, hard a' starboard meant turning the ship's STERN to starboard and the bow to port. Today this would be called hard a 'port. So the bow of the ship did indeed turn to the left, causing the iceberg strike on the starboard side.
