Is a boat a female?
Another tradition is to consider ships as female, referring to them as ‘she’. Although it may sound strange referring to an inanimate object as ‘she’, this tradition relates to the idea of a female figure such as a mother or goddess guiding and protecting a ship and crew. One plausible theory is that boats are called ‘she’ because they are traditionally given female names, typically the name of an important woman in the life of the boat’s owner, such as his mother or wife.
