Hai. Requires more precision. Great Lakes bulk carrier freighter is a boat.

There are many strange words. A drinking fountain is a bubbler. Traffic signal is stop 'n' go light. Most puzzling is time machine. Original ATMs were TYME. Acronym: Take Your Money Everywhere. Evolved to time machine. Just as we substitute Kleenex for the tissue. When I slip up vacationing, I receive curious looks for that one. Why, yes. We have time machines everywhere. Don't you?

Size is important. SS Edmund Fitzgerald specifically built to Saint Lawrence Seaway locks for ocean capability. So. I suppose could be freshwater boat or saltwater ship.

To me, the most heartbreaking shipwrecks are Christmas Tree Ship http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/christmas-tree-ship-went-down-on-the-lake-100-years-ago-427qj7i-181617871.html and PS Lady Elgin http://www.ship-wrecks.net/shipwreck/projects/elgin/

Very sad.

The peninsula of Door County is anglified contraction of the French "Porte des Morts" because the sea is so treacherous. But Death's Door is not conducive to attracting vacationers.

My favorite boat, E M Ford, suffered ignominious fate. http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/emford.htm

My favorite yacht is for sale. http://www.superyachts.com/motor-yacht-2572/ss-delphine.htm Are you thinking what I am thinking? Tiki yacht. If everyone goes to the time machine and ponies up $500,000 .....
