General Order, 18 February 1846
UNITED STATES NAVY DEPARTMENT,
Washington, February 18, 1846
It having been represented to the Department, that confusion arises from the use of the words “Larboard” and “Starboard,” in consequence of the similiarity of sound, the word “Port” is hereafter to be substituted for “Larboard.”
GEORGE BANCROFT.
Larboard: En oposición de la banda de las estrellas (starboard), la banda de la escala/carga, posiblemente de la alteración de Laddebord, (laden, load, ladder, bord.) ¿Algún filólogo en la cámara?
