I don't wish to be picky, but a 'proper' sailor who referred to the port side of his vessel as 'larboard' would by now be in an advanced state of decomposition. I can't date it exactly, but it appears the usage changed in the early to mid 19th century due to problems caused by the similar sound of the words.

Hahaha - you beat me to it - it appears that term went the way of the dodo bird in the mid-nineteenth century. I thought it sounded familiar, possibly from some old historic novels, but didn't recall ever actually hearing it in use. Rolleyes

From Wikipedia:
"Etymology: From Middle English ladebord, referring to the side of the ship on which cargo was loaded. Changed to larboard in the 16th century by association with starboard.
Noun: larboard ‎(usually uncountable, plural larboards)
(obsolete, nautical) The left side of a ship, looking from the stern; port side.
Usage notes: In the British Navy it was not until 1844 that larboard was abandoned for port in reference to that side of the ship. The term port however had always been used when referring to the helm (ie. sailing direction), in order to avoid any confusion between starboard and larboard in such an important matter. (Reference: Ray Parkin, H. M. Bark Endeavour, Miegunyah Press, second edition 2003, ISBN 0-522-85093-6, page 56.)"
