What color light is displayed from the starboard of a ship?

In: Maritime History [Edit categories]

Answer:

Starboard = Green = Right side.

Port = Red = Left side.

As an easy way to remember them look at the number of letters in each:

starboard has more than port

green has more than red

right has more than left

GRASS is green, so Green Right At Starboard Side
