Difference between ship and boat?
According to the U.S. Navy, a Boat is either something small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship) or on land. A Ship cannot be carried across land. During W.W.2 German Submarines were called "U-Boats," (Unterseeboot in German). Obviously outside of our Navy's definition. There is no difference, it's merely tradition and semantics. There are no objective criteria that can be applied to a watercraft to definitely say that "all craft with these characteristics are boats, and all with these are ships". Even the above US Navy tradition is fraught with exceptions, as all US submarines are explicitly referred to as "boats".
