This paper is a corpus-based lexical study of two maritime English high school textbooks published by Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education(BUSAN corpus) and Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology(MEST corpus), respectively. Each of the two corpora, BUSAN and MEST, were compiled from these two textbooks and compared with the Maritime English Corpus as English for Specific Purposes(ESP) and contrasted with the British National Corpus Sampler as a reference corpus of general English, using WordSmith tools 5.0. The first part of this paper focuses on basic statistical information. The second part focuses on lexical analyses using WordSmith tools such as wordlists, keywords, and collocations. Especially we focused on port-related synonyms such as port, dock, berth, and pier to identify their collocations. The results of studying the collocations showed that some collocations were exclusively used in maritime ESP texts, and others were used in both ESP and general English texts. These observations contribute to pedagogical implications on what to teach about maritime vocabularies.
