| Strangely enough, submarines are always known as boats. Submariners don't usually refer to ships as ships, they refer to them as targets! VP

| You can fit a ship in a bottle but you can not fit a ship in a boat unless it is in a bottle in which case the boat would not fit on the ship.

| When cruising , we sail on cruise SHIPS not cruise BOATS.... So why some say boat when talking about their cruises is a mystery...

You cruise on a ship, and travel on ferry boat.

We always say 'you hang boats over the side of ships'. I confess, we wince, when speaking with fellow passengers who will insist on talking about the boat - I mean, whoever heard of a 'cruise boat'? Where have they been all their lives? The TV show The Love Boat just confuses the issue!
