Best Answer

One boards by transferring - from shore, ground or other surface - to a ship (or other craft).

On setting both feet upon the craft, one has boarded and so is now on board or aboard; the terms mean the same.

The ship or other craft is assumed, and it isn't essential to mention it again if it's already been made clear what one is boarding and from where.

What is boarding a ship called?

Well, there are two ways to board a ship. The first is legally, usually getting permission from the captain to be aboard his/her ship. This is done by lowering a plank or something from a dock to the ship which basically acts like a ramp to allow passengers to board the ship with ease. The other is illegally in which the captain or crew does not allow the person to board the ship and this can be done with a hook (where a small vessel latches on to the side of the ship being boarded which allows the people to get aboard). There are other ways you can board a ship that aren't cleared by the captain, but that would be the most common one to see.
