Ferry ( Boat or ship used to carry passengers across bodies of water )
A boat is a small wooden vessel. Although it can be made of metal. It unusually hold no more than 5-6 people and is often used for quick transport or for casual fishing out in the ocean. Ships, on the other hand, are massive constructions used for mass transport of people and goods. The Titanic is an example of a ship, while, say, a Canoe is an example of a boat. The main difference between a boat and a ship is purely size. A ship is considerably larger than a boat, to the extent that a boat could actually fit on a ship.
The difference is that one is on a boat and visits many difference places on the other hand you stay in the one place
A clipper ship is a sail boat that is very fast and is moved by winds. Steam boats are mechanical boats that run a motor with steam power.
If the ship is carrying cars as import or export cargo it will be a merchant ship - that is, a ship used for trading, tourism and so on, rather than for military purposes - and this merchant ship will be referred to as a cargo ship. If the cars are in containers, it will be called a container ship.Other kinds of merchant vessel which carry cars are passenger ships such as ferries; these ships have special car decks so that motor vehicles can be driven on board by the passengers on embarkation and driven off again on disembarkation.Some military vessels also carry motor vehicles, for military purposes.
The mail boat carries mail to islands and countries. A cruise ships carries people and tourist from land to land.
Well, there's a boat in it--'ferry.' It's not a ship, though. ----
