An old ship captain, after years of good service, dies. He was one of the most revered captains his nearly 50 year career. The crew had little idea what to do with all his belongings gathered from all the country's he's visited.
After a few weeks of talking it through with the crew and family the first mate remembers a weird habit the captain had.
Every single time, just before docking, the captain took out a small locket from his jacket pocket, look at it, and put it back.
In all his time with the captain he never asked what was in the locket.
After looking through the boxes of this clothes they fished out the jacket.
Finding the jacket, and locket within, the first mate, for the first time in his time knowing the captain, opens it.
All that is in the locket are 4 words: "Port= left. Starboard= right".
