BrE > Boat or ship vs. craft or vessel 11:48 Dec 4, 2020
Just to add an 'imbarcazione' footnote now the question has been closed, there is a dimensions issue about the size of the craft in question. 'A boat can fit on a ship, but a ship can't fit on a boat', besides which - in my experience - City of London shipping solicitors and Port of London Authority Notaries Public routinely insist on the translation of imbarcazione, as well as Romance language equivalents, as a 'vessel' and complain about the use of boat or ship. |
