Forgive my British ignorance - what's starboard?

And what do you make the other side of the boat out of?

Larboard is an older word for port. Brits use it more than 'Muricans, but
you'll hear it occasionally.

I thought that was the ladenboard or the side that went to the port for
loading. The other side was the stjoren (sp?) board had that big oar
sticking out the back for steering.
