Ship

The first topical stamps I kept was stamps featuring ship. There are many in my collection, here I choose to show some of them.

Ship is any large floating vessel capable of crossing open waters, as opposed to a boat, which is generally a smaller craft.

The great majority of ships that are neither military vessels nor yachts can be divided into several broad categories: cargo carriers, passenger carriers, industrial ships, service vessels, and noncommercial miscellaneous. Each category can be subdivided, with the first category containing by far the greatest number of subdivisions.
