many people have views on this one....Some nice 'quotes' are :

A boat becomes a ship when :

It's too expensive for most to afford !

When you need permission from QHM to enter P'mouth

When B*stard Wightlink ferries give way to you

When you need a mortgage to refuel her

When you need a tug to berth in a hoolie

When you need a pilot at the Nab

When you have a duplex radio

When you don't need to worry about a radar reflector

When you give 3 blasts on the horn as you hit astern - as opposed to swearing 3

times when you hit your stern

When you have a pic of your bowthruster on your hull

When running aground means your insurance co. gets embarrased

A ship has been defined as one that carries its own boats. Thus all submarines, which do not carry boats, are referred to by their crews as boats. And that includes the big ones that carry missiles.

It's a bit like an elephant. Hard to describe, but you'll recognise it when you see one.

But can boats pull ships ? Well yes..Tugs are boats and the pull and or push ships and likeboats are well boats....
