> Ships are bigger than boats
to the best of my recollection, the only way to tell a ship from a boat is to watch it make a "high" speed turn, ships lean out, boats lean in. But this is probably incorrect, just like all of my education was.
- Scarblac 1y agoThe only one I know is that ships can carry boats, not vice versa.
- bombcar 1y agoShips can carry ships, though. But then the ship becomes a boat?

- sandworm101 1y agoSubmarines are considered "boats". The leaning thing is only about the position of the rudder in relation to the center of gravity while moving. Small boats that ride high in the water will lean into turns because the rudder is well below the center of mass. But a hydrofoil "ship" will do the same. Many small sailboats will lean out of turns too, even though they are "boats".
