Q.Why are most of the ships drawings and plans showing the starboard side ?

I feel that showing the starboard profile in the ship's plans and drawings has become a norm now.

Ship architect follow the same practice that has been followed for hundreds of the years now. This becomes easier for them to use the pre-existing pattern.

But that is not the only reason for using the starboard profile of the ship. Most of the times, the equipments like rescue boat and davit launched liferafts are located on the starboard side of the ship.

To show these additional equipments (Additional to that of the port side of the ship), it is better to show the starboard side profile of the ship.

If for some ships, these are located on the port side of the ship, then I feel it is the port side that is shown (or need to be shown) for the ship's profile in the plans and drawings.

Do you know a ship with where rescue boat is located on the port side ? Which side profile is shown in the plans or drawings of that ship ? Let me know in the comments here.  

This is due to the number , figures starts from left to right
