Port Side Pirates (Singalong)

Product Information

In the early days of boating, boats were steered with the aid of a steering oar at the stern, and the majority of sailors were right-handed. In addition to manoeuvring, the terms port and starboard are also used to spot and convey the location of an object, mainly on warships. However, certain experiments conducted in recent times at hydrodynamic testing facilities have pointed out that specific vessels that are unsymmetrical can have better performance parameters compared to their symmetrical counterparts. Thus, by following this convention of right or left, it is possible to accurately determine the direction of motion of the other vessel.

During such high-stressed environments, it is important that they continue to use conventional terms of navigation. For smaller crafts and sailboats, this led to some difficulty in loading goods from this side of the vessel. When looking from the bow to the stern, the port lies on the right side, while the starboard side lies on the left side. These, combined with the red and green lights, make it easy to identify the ship’s direction at night. The books are beautifully illustrated and the music is well produced and fun to sing, even for adults!An interesting point to note is that although 180⁰ to either the port or starboard should indicate the same direction, they actually indicate the direction in which the vessel must turn. For instance, 90⁰ to the starboard indicates that the vessel must now proceed in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction and on the starboard side. The terms port and starboard are used instead of left and right since port and starboard never change as they are unambiguous references that are not affected by a mariner’s orientation.

Along with the port and starboard nautical terms, colours are also used to aid in navigation, especially during night manoeuvres. One can imagine a nice bottle of port and remember the saying, “There is some red port left in the bottle”– Red Port Left. It's a very funny song about the boat going this way, that way, forward and backward, and the kids can act it out with you.I sing these lyrics with that pacing and some embellishments of my own, rather than the version on the CD which comes with this book.

Thus, only small red and green stripes are present for the pilot to judge the location of the vessel and the area that they need to land on.This system of reporting by using both an angle and a side is useful when it comes to calculating the speed of an object. Thus, the port and starboard halves are usually assembled together in a block before being welded to the adjacent blocks. So fearless that the youngster declared, 'Oh, the pirate's life is full of fun, The pirate's life for me! Hence, it was easier to have the steering oar on the right-hand side so that the sailor was facing forward comfortably. Without clear visibility, it can be difficult to judge whether a vessel is approaching or heading away from your ship.

When looking from the bow to the stern, the port lies on the right side while the starboard side lies on the left side. As right and left are ambiguous due to the lateral inversion of perspective, there is a higher risk of a collision without the use of proper terms.

On the other hand, warships and high-speed attack crafts are often required to make tight manoeuvres that require sudden and large changes in direction.
