SHIP v.s. BOAT - Lanny Davis and DNC newest smear tactic.

you could do it by size, or "not capable of long term independent operation".

But in the "gunboat era" the original gunboats (Commisioned officer in command, rest of crew warrant officers & seamen hence "boat") were 500-1000 tons and certainly capable of operating alone (that was the whole idea, naval presence in distant waters),

So best solution in naval terms: a boat is whatever I'm pointing to when I say "That's a boat"

Okay

you can put a boat on a ship,
you can't put a ship on a boat...

That's it hoot.

You are right! I must have been brain dead. It indeed is at LEAST Three masts. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Is it shaped like a sausage?

The skunk Lanny Davis all over television daily now.

First he was trying to hold down the 'Bimbo Eruptions' for Clinton, now it's the 'Rambo Eruptions' for Effin.

Some things never change.

A boat is a small vehicle for traveling on water. A boat can have oars, paddles, sails, or a motor to make it move. A ship is a large boat that can travel across deep water, such as a sea or ocean. A ship is built to carry people or goods for a long distance.

Harder - The difference between a ship and a boat is size. Large oceangoing vessels are called ships; while all other craft are called boats. Various types of boats include canoes, rowboats, sailboats, and motorboats.
Ships are one of the oldest and most important means of transportation. For hundreds of years, people have sailed the seas to explore, to settle, to trade, and sometimes to conquer. Today, trade among countries still depends heavily on ships. Ships sail along seacoasts, cross the oceans, and travel on inland waterways. Many different types of ships are used including giant tankers that haul petroleum and other liquids; refrigerated ships carrying fresh fruits, meats, and vegetables; dry bulk carriers hauling grain, ore, and sand; cargo ships transporting manufactured goods; and passenger liners carrying travelers.
