Boat (English spelling) ship

Japanese: 舟∥船 - ふね(英語表記)ship
Boat (English spelling) ship
A vehicle that carries people or things across the water. This is the general definition, but nowadays there are also submarines that operate under the water surface and air cushion ships that run on the water surface by using air pressure, and these are also broadly included in the term ship. Conventionally, the word "ship" is used for large things and "boat" for very small things. In addition, the word "ship" is used in regulations.
[History of the ship]
The earliest boats were broadly divided into three types of construction: (1) dugout canoes, (2) rafts, and (3) animal hide boats.

Japanese:
人や物を乗せて水上を渡る乗物。これが一般的な定義であるが,現在では水面下を行動する潜水船や,空気圧によって水面上を浮上して走行するエアクッション船もあり,これらも広く船に含めている。慣例では,大型のものには〈船〉,ごく小さいものには〈舟〉を用いるのがふつうである。なお,法規上は〈船舶〉という語が使われる。
【船の歴史】
 ごく初期の舟には,大別して三つの構造様式がある。それは(1)丸木舟,(2)いかだ,(3)動物の革(皮)の舟である。
