- - - And before anyone asks what the difference between a boat and a ship is. The short answer is: When a boat goes hard to Port/Starboard it leans into the turn, When a ship goes hard Port/Starboard it leans out of the turn... So, tonnage/length/beam/freeboard etc. What the Navy considers a "Boat" would most likely be several tons larger than what most people would think of.
Hi Rustie,
A ship is a 3-masted sailing vessel that's square rigged on all masts. And a Hermaphrodite Brig ain't what you might think, neither.[/QUOTE]
Only one three masted square rigger left in the USN.
