Why a Ship is called “SHE”
The Ship is called ‘She’ because:
- There is usually a gang of men about.
- She has a waste and stays.
- It takes lot of paint to keep her good looking.
- It is not the initial expense that breaks you, it is the upkeep.
- She can be all decked out.
- It takes an experienced man to handle her correctly.
- Without the man at the helm, she is absolutely uncontrollable.
- She shows her top sides and hides her bottom.
- When coming into port, she heads for the buoys and secures with the buoys.
