    I just can't fathom that
    It could make problem even to native speakers which is left, and which is right. It took me some time to learn, an I used method: "port" and "left" have the same number of letters. And I even red somewhere (maybe even here, at Anchorage) that terms used at Napoleonic time were "larboard" and "starboard", and that "port" comes into the use later, in mid XIX century.

    Serbian (and Croatian, too) simply use same words for "left" and "right" and for ship sides, respectively. What's the case in Hebrew? Do you have different words for that, or the same?

    In the Israeli Navy its officially Green and Red, but in practice every one uses Right and Left (looking at the bow of course)
