    Traditionally, a ship had 3 or more masts while boats had fewer, however, since modern vessels don't use masts anymore, the difference is more along the line of size.

    Crushed penny tip: Save any pre-1982 pennies you come across and use those. In late 1982 pennies went from 95% copper to 97.5% zinc. Zinc can get a white powdery coating over time, especially in humid environments. Safe travels!

    Here in southernmost Illinois, we call it "hoggin'" catfish. My grandfather and his brothers used to do that. They would run their fist into the mouth of the catfish and then hurl the fist onto the shore. Grandfather said it was sure good eating with hush puppies on the side.

    Today, the difference between a boat and a ship is largely the direction it leans when it turns. A ship will turn the opposite direction of the turn, while a boat will lean into the turn. At least that's how it was explained to me.

    I’ve always called the steering portion of a boat/ship the “wheel house.” Not really sure if that’s the correct terminology, but have always been told that. My Grandpa who passed away quite some years ago spent over 30 years on the Ohio River working on tugboats.

    Vessels intended for navigation of coastal and inland waters are generally called boats, while ocean-going vessels are generally called ships. However, the former are also generally smaller than the latter. Thats a definition I found on Google. Also where the Captain steers the ship is called the Bridge. Left side of a ship is called Port, The right side is called Starboard, The front of a ship is called Forward or Bow, and the back of the Ship is called Aft or Stern. The floor of a ship is called the Deck and the walls of the ship is called the Bulkhead. Plus the bathroom is called the Head and the kitchen/dining area is called the Mess hall and basically where the sailors sleep is called the Berthing area.
