"Just for the record. they're ships not boats. Anything 100' or over is a ship, anything less is a boat".

Interesting definition. I can think of a number of exceptions. As a sailing instructor its a question that pops up regularly and I've got no real answer. Heres a case in point. I'd happily describe the ferry as a ship, yet the square rigger is neither, yet is possibly longer than the ferry.

A few of a container ship coming into Otago Harbour and docking at Port Chalmers NZ. I took them with my S3IS a couple of years ago. Whole series can be seen here.
