On a Boat..possibly a Ship. I'm not sure!

in #ship • 5 years ago

When does a boat become a ship? I'm currently sat on a Seatrans ferry from Samui to Donsak and its quite a big boat.
Its got cars and about 6 buses and a couple of trucks but its not huge.

So is it a boat or a ship?

When bored on boats, my mind goes into overdrive!

    The internet says:

    Among sailing vessels, the distinction between ships and boats is that a ship is a square-rigged craft with at least three masts, and a boat isn't. With regard to motorized craft, a ship is a large vessel intended for oceangoing or at least deep-water transport, and a boat is anything else

    More waffle here!:
