One evening in 2009, while assisting on the Friday night Paranormal Investigation tour I was allowed to explore the forward area of R-Deck. After I had looked around for a while and did some EVP work, I decided to make may way down back to the others who were 3 decks below in the Forward Cargo Hold.I was on the starboard side of the compartment. Starboard is the name given to the right side of the ship. It is starboard because most commonly if not always, the left side of the ship is the side the dock of the harbor is on. So left is always the portside. On a ship you have an imaginary center line and if you stand at that center line facing forward, to the right is starboard and to the left is port. Now if you were to be facing the after part of the ship or the stern, keeping in mind where the forward part is facing, Portside is still the port or the left if you're facing forward and Starboard is still starboard or the right side if you are facing forward. They are not interchangeable.
So, I was on the right side of the ship and the compartment (starboard) and I had to head to the left side (Port) to access the ladder which would take me down to the 3rd deck below and the Forward Cargo Hold. The EVP you will hear is captured as I am heading port. Keep in mind "port" and you will understand the correlation of our ghostly friend in regards to where he was as I was coming his way. He's very polite about it to.
