[Travel] When does a boat become a ship

[Guy Fawkes]

Ah. Finally. Being someone that works on a cruise ship, this is something that often gets asked.

I was always told a boat can fit on a ship. We have lifeboats on a cruise ship.

So are cruise ships boats or ships ?

In my view it's in the mind of the killer. If the assassin believes the subject is important to kill due to political, ideological, religious, financial, or military reasons then it is an assassination. It doesn't matter whether it makes the news programs or not.

Good points.
Well presented.

You can row a boat, you can’t row a ship.

Speak for yourself twiglet arms.

Had a mate on Southampton, which had to suffer the same indignity after their collision in the gulf. So, yes, 42's aren't real ships!

Was this in bahrain and they grounded the depth sonar? My mate above was on that one and had to dive down to see what the issue was.

When does a pond become a lake?

When the sunlight doesn't penetrate to the bottom of the whole area ?

 

[Pevenseagull]

If you're not sure if it's a crow or a raven, it's a crow.

Don't know if this helps.

 

[Pevenseagull]

If you say, 'f*** me, look at that huge boat', it's a ship.

When the sunlight doesn't penetrate to the bottom of the whole area ?

So at night ?

No, Gulf Patrol '88, collision with a tanker, MV Tor Bay.

Was this in bahrain and they grounded the depth sonar? My mate above was on that one and had to dive down to see what the issue was.

[Chicken Run]

ships can go in space

So can boats apparently

In April 1970, the Apollo 13 LM-7 Aquarius saved the lives of the three astronauts after an oxygen tank in the service module ruptured, disabling the CSM. Aquarius served as a "lifeboat" for the astronauts during their return to Earth.

We have the enormous wealth of knowledge from the various plumbing, gardening, building, birdwatching, electrical, Mortgage broking, accounting, banking, computing etc cliques on NSC, but despite having a number of ex (and current) matelots here we still can't find out what the difference between a boat and a ship is

 

[Notters]

I'm I too late to post a pic of a ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships?

 

[Not Spanish Dave]

One for the international break.

Almost impossible to find a definition.

When it gets big enough... obviously

When the sunlight doesn't penetrate to the bottom of the whole area ?

So is a deep well considered a lake?
Are all bodies of water in caves called lakes?
I feel I may be overthinking this.
