	Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage.
		Until the application of the steam engine to ships in the early 19th century, oars propelled galleys or the wind propelled sailing ships.
		Before mechanisation, merchant ships always used sail, but as long as naval warfare depended on ships closing to ram or to fight hand-to-hand, galleys dominated in marine conflicts because of their maneuverability and speed.

		The invention of the sail revolutionized the ship and dominated the course of ship construction until the 19th century.
		The ship, which has come to be known as the Oseberg ship for the farm on which it was found, has a 22-m (71-ft) clinker-built hull with an elegantly curved bow and stern.
		The ship was forgotten until the 1970s, when marine archaeologists found it on the ocean bottom and began to bring its thousands of artifacts to the surface.

		Ship, vessel that is buoyant in the water and used to transport people or cargo from one place to another via rivers, lakes, or oceans.
		Traditionally, ships were distinguished from boats by size—any buoyant vessel small enough to fit on board a ship was considered a boat.
		A ship’s size is expressed in terms of the dimensions of its hull—that is, its length, breadth, and volume in tons (calculated by dividing the cubic footage of the hull by 100).

	Cruise Critic Reviews: Century
		Century accomplishes this admirably by concentrating on sophisticated levels of food and beverage service most often associated with pricier lines: martini and champagne bars, cigar lounges and caviar service, while not skimping on shipboard activities for passengers who like to let their hair down.
		At one extreme are Century's dramatic, large public rooms, the Celebrity Theater (showroom) in rich colors of navy and purple and Sports Deck's spectacular Hemisphere, her top-of-the-ship, forward-looking observation lounge.
		Century has 569 outside cabins, of which 52 are suites measuring from 313 to 1219 square feet depending on the category.

	Ex Astris Scientia - Klingon Ship Classes
		Ships of the K'Vort and the B'rel class have occasionally been witnessed to fire with horizontal wings, though.
		This ship is different from the D7 in that it has a protruding sensor (torpedo?) tube and two additional horizontal bars to either side of the connecting dorsal.
		The ship was modified adding weapons pods (which could be auxiliary nacelles too according to the Fact Files) to both wings, removing the fins at the bottom of the bow section, and removing the spikes in the bow and on both nacelle front tips.

		The rest of the ship's crew is settling in to their new quarters comfortably, though there is still a bit of adjustment moving from the century+ old warship to the brand-new-from-the-yard research vessal.
		Currently, the ship is "exploring" an uncolonized system not terribly far from New Inverness as a way to both check out the ship's systems and give the crew a chance to explore the capabilities of their new ship under less than hostile conditions.
		And, while other ships could have made the trip more quickly under a conventional hyperdrive, no one felt the expenditure of resources was worth it to check up on th health of a few stranded settlers far, far, past the Frontier.

	Magazine Antiques: Boston's nineteenth century ship carvers
		The distinction Hawthorne draws between the importance of a figure carved in wood and one carved in marble illustrates the hierarchy of mediums as understood in the nineteenth century.
		In the nineteenth century, as Americans began to be trained in the academic sculptural traditions of Europe, marble and granite replaced wood as the preferred materials for sculptors.
		The brief reign of the clipper ship in the third quarter of the nineteenth century allowed a few talented ship carvers to regain a modicum of the prestige enjoyed by their eighteenth-century predecessors.
