When does a "boat' become a "ship"?


there no set "size" vessel classified "ship".

but, if use coast guard guidelines (as do)...
under 65 feet classified boat.

uscg, vessels under 65 feet in length classified boats , operate near shore , on inland waterways. craft include: motor lifeboats; motor surf boats; large utility boats; surf rescue boats; port security boats; aids navigation boats; , variety of smaller, non-standard boats including rigid inflatable boats. sizes range 64 feet in length down 12 feet.

on 65 feet referred it's type. ie: cutter, trawler, tender, tug, freighter, cruise ship, container ship, etc.

or if recreational vessel on 65 feet: sloop, cruiser, yacht,

so, when boat become ship? according uscg, if on 65' - ship, left "common sense" identy. in every case, if ship - know when see - , think do.
