[edit]
  • The singular formship is sometimes used without anyarticle, producing such sentences as "In all, we spent three weeks aboard ship." and "Abandon ship!". (Similar patterns may be seen with many place nouns, such ascamp,home,work, andschool, but the details vary between them.)
  • Ships were traditionally regarded as ladies, especially by the sailor, and the pronounsher andshe are still sometimes used instead ofit, though this usage is in decline.
