People have been building boats and ships for a long time, and there is research that suggests that Vikings visited America by sea before the Spanish.
In colloquial language, the term “ship” is the same as “vessel.” During the era of sailing fleets, a ship was defined as a vessel with a frigate rig, meaning it had at least three masts with square sails on all of them.
