Hi, welcome aboard.
Experience and Sea time matter not too much. Just an interest and willingness to share knowledge.
The boards are similar to carriage destination boards and I believe had a similar function, but in a static location.
On the railways they also used such boards on platforms to tell passengers where the train was going before more elaborate systems were evolved. They still used them in the provinces up to the 1970s at least.
With the boards you have they would be placed at or over a public entrance to show the name of the Company using the berth.
With smaller cruise ports around the world something similar is still used to this day, with maybe an 'A' board.
