My wife watched Titanic the other night, I sat down for the 'crash'
scene. When they spotted the ice cube, they yelled 'hard to
starboard, but it looked to me like they turned the wheel to port.
Then the order 'hard to port' was given and , to me, they turned to
'the right'. Anybody else notice this? Should I quit drinking?


Poor Scotty Potti is soooo ignorant that he doesn't know that ship wheels
worked like tillers on ships until late 20's and early 30's, then were slowly
converted to "car logic." In other words, turn the wheel left to go right.
