Larboard
The left, or port, side of any craft when facing the bow. Perhaps derived from the 13th century English word laddebord, or loading side; some suggest it goes all the way back to the Norse word hlada bord of the same meaning.

Note that the loading/larboard side is now called the "port" side. Good rule since its bloody hard to tell the difference between "Larboard" and "Starboard" when shouting through the wind.

Starboard
The right side of any craft when facing the bow. Before the advent of the stern rudder, vessels had their steering oars on the right, or steering board, or starboard side.

I'm pretty sure my spelling of these terms is all to hell since they are mostly phonetic spellings of what were generally oral terms (example - Forecastle is also known/spelled/pronounce "Foc'sle" - seen it spelled lots of ways but its still that area in the bow under the deck where the crew bunks).
