Why do sailors call their ships she?

Anonymous

∙ 13y ago

Updated: 4/28/2022

The reason is really unknown, although people call large passenger liners both 'ships'and 'she' and they call liners with only crew 'boats' and 'he'.

Boats are always "she" It's just the way of life. Also, they're calling us women fat.
