aft is not a side of a ship it is the term used when refering to anything backwards (torward the transom). the opposite of aft being fore. as for the sides there are the port and starboard ( starboard got its name from Steri and Boro terms that meant the side where you steer), bow and stern, the back part of the boat ( where the outboards are mounted or on some boats where the name is) is the transom. the front is the bow. the tops of the sides of a boat are the gunnels a term refering back centuries ago (gun wall) where sailors rested there guns.

To begin, the front of a vessel is called the bow, the extreme most portion of the bow is called the stem. On the stem at the very tip atop is the prow. The forward end of a vessel is called "fore" --- meaning forward. The rear of a vessel is called the stern. Going to the rear of the craft is called "aft," as meaning after. The right side of the vessel is called starboard as the left sife is called the port side. Besides these simple basics, nautical knowledge goes much deeper.

The names are Port, Starboard, Bow and Stern. Starboard got it's name from ancient ships with a "steer board" on the right side.

The sides of the ship between the water and the deck are called topsides. The deck is the top where you walk. It was already explained where aft and forward came from and port and starboard.
sides are topsides,

It is actually Bow, Stern, Port , & Starboard. when you are on board and you go into the Engine room you are going Below Deck. and if you are outside, You are topside.

fore. I don't know where port and starboard came from, left and right, but the fore and aft are from the before and after for front and back.

Port is the port side, Starboard is water side, aft is the rear, and STERN is the front.

You pretty much named 'em all. However, some ships, such as the Ile de France, S.S.Norway and the S.S. France sometimes had their names on the superstructure.

Well dear most of the answers are more or less correct - however, all this changes if you get 'pitch-poled' and end up upside down!
The only remedy for this, is to get 'three sheets to the wind'!!!!
