My...Rowship. Tugship. Cigarette Ship. Sailship.<br /><br />My understanding is that if it's built for bluewater, it's a ship (except submarines, which are always boats). If it's not built for bluewater, it's a boat. One odd exception I remember reading about a couple years ago is that, if you're in the US Navy, it's customary to call the ship you're assigned to a boat for as long as you're still assigned to it.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-72291490637692293382019-09-18T00:57:50.917+01:002019-09-18T00:57:50.917+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.AddictedToStyrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121470091208531530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-14871689848203066532019-09-18T00:08:22.705+01:002019-09-18T00:08:22.705+01:00Oh yeah.

I also think that the main difference between a boat and a ship is the size, and this vessel is a tad too small to be considered a ship, I think.<br /><br />However, judging by the size of the catch, it might still be a 'prawn boat', though...Håkan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00767889630145885090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-76877680854477973202019-09-17T11:08:50.582+01:002019-09-17T11:08:50.582+01:00OK here we go with the nautical "well actuall...OK here we go with the nautical "well actually". An American sailor will tell you a boat is small enough to be carried by a ship and a ship is large enough to carry a boat. A commonwealth sailor will tell you a ship has a deck that goes all the way around the hull and a boat doesn't. So destroyers and carriers are ships but dinghies, patrol boats and especially submarines are boats. A normal person will just let it go because it's just one of those traditional word things that really doesn't matter. Call them what you will; you are right as long as others understand what you mean. OK "well actually" over.
