Mick may be correct. It's whatever the captain says it is. Although usually referred to as fishing boats, there are no hard & fast rules, but many conventions with countless exceptions. Great work in any case. PaulE

Just catching up after some down time.... Great Gods Ron you are good at these water scenes.! Great job.
Ship/boat. I believe that the technical boarder lies in A boat has only one or two decks. Where as a ship has loads of decks....As per every thing there are always exceptions to the rule. lol.

A ship may carry a boat, but a boat cannot carry a ship seems to be the only rule most ascribe to. Many submarines and fishing vessels have more than two decks, not to mention ferries. Some boats are ocean going & some ships ply only fresh water. Vessel seems to apply to all regardless. Interesting subject. PaulE
