ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
ummm I never really focused my attention on the definition of a boat and ship in school…..but the old saying I posted is likely close enough for any normal person needs.
Curious, is there an official answer to this?

Boats go around the lake or out to some buoy in the ocean. Ships go across the ocean.
It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

Sail boats go across the ocean.
Boats are open hull or if covered, have only one deck. Ships have one or more decks.
This is the best answer IMO.
Let's not even get into the reasons why Submariners (even those on the largest ballistic missile subs) always call their vessel a "boat", never a "ship".
