[1]GENERAL ORDER
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.
