What does port refer to on a vessel?

Right side of the vessel
Left side of the vessel
Front of the vessel
Back of the vessel

The correct answer is: Left side of the vessel

Port refers to the left side of a vessel when facing the front, or bow. This is often remembered by the phrase "red port wine left on the shelf". The other options are incorrect because the right side of a vessel is called "starboard", the front is called the "bow", and the back is called the "stern". These terms are commonly used in the nautical industry to help navigate and communicate on a vessel.
