If the ship's heading home port is ahead. If it's leaving then it's astern. (And it's fine to drink port aboard the ship as long as you're not the helmsman or navigator. And probably not the captain either although I've seen many captains that were better off when drunk-at least then the crew knew not to pay any attention to them.)
