Hard A Starboard!

When the iceberg was spotted, the order Hard A Starboard was given and the engines were stopped. But, in the movie Titanic, why does Hichens turn the wheel to port, not starboard? First of all, this is correct. You may ask, why? Because they were using older style tiller commands. That's why. You may ask yourself, what in the world are tiller commands? Well, it can get complicated and it's hard for me to explain. If you look it up, you will find your answer.
