What Wikipedia says

A broadside is the side of a ship, or more specifically the battery of cannons on one side of a warship or their coordinated fire in naval warfare, or a measurement of a warship's maximum simultaneous firepower which can be delivered upon a single target (because this concentration is usually obtained by firing a broadside).
