    I always remember that port and left both are the shorter word, and have the same number of letters.

      My grandfather was a bomber pilot and he always remembered it by picturing himself flying north along the east coast, where all the ports would be on the left.

      and even, as in even numbers.

      Port, left, even…all words an even number of letters Starboard, right, odd…all words are an odd number of letters.
