Ships are generally distinguished from boats on the basis of size, shape, load capacity, and tradition. Remember it is only recently that watercraft have been mechanically powered and historically a "ship" was a sailing vessel with at least three square-rigged masts and a full bowsprit.

The modern definition of a ship is "a vesicle for transporting people or goods by sea (air - airship, or in space- spaceship).
