Remember:
There is no RED PORT wine LEFT in the hold.
The port-side is also defined by the fact that ships earlier in our history used to turn with a big oar hanging off the right side being used as a rudder - a steering board. Starboard. And it was easier to pull up to a dock with it on the opposite side from that bit jutting out.
Nowadays, I never forget that starboard is on the right because that's where the steering board used to hang, and therefore you'd usually moor to the port on the left side.
The boats in Valheim are like this too!

This is the first time I've ever understood the reason why. Thank you so much.
