Ships are large watercraft capable of offshore navigation; a [[vessel ]] of considerable size for deep-water navigation. <ref> The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language </ref>
Ships can be measured 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.
