BOATS
A boat is smaller than a ship. A liner is used to carry people for long distances called voyages and a ferry is used to carry people and sometimes cars for short distances called crossings. A ship that carries goods from one place to another is a freighter. A large boat with sails is a yacht. Lifeboat has two meanings: it is a special boat that is used to rescue people who are in danger at sea, or it is a small boat that is kept on a ship and is used by people to escape if the ship is going to sink. A boat that you move by rowing with oars is a rowing boat (US rowboat).
The front of a boat is the bow, the back is the stern. When you are facing the front of a boat the side on the right is called starboard, the side on the left is called port. The people who work on a boat are its crew. The person in command is the captain.
