Yo...
Them what knows ... Excuse me, holiday's over. Those who know their boats might use S.S for sailing ship, we who know ships realize that S.S. on a ship does stand for Steam Ship. Before steam ships, all vessels were sailing ships, and the designation would not have made any sense. I'll have to admit that the usage has become so blurred that today it might mean nothing more than boat like the S.S. Minnow. Do I really have a fishmouth, or were you just writing in character?Gokul43201 said:Yaaarrrhh! Steamship? What good be that, ye fishmouthed scum?! Ne'er's there been a worthier vessel than the Sailing Ship Moonbear.
