水手们认为船只和女人有许多相似之处，看下面这段话
"A boat is called a she because there's always a great deal of bustle around her...because there's usually a gang of men around...because she has waist and stays...because she takes a lot of paint to keep her looking good...because it's not the initial expense that breaks you, it's the upkeep...because she is all decked out...because it takes a good man to handle her right...because she shows her topside, hides her bottom and, when coming into port, always heads for the buoys."
（George Moses in Falmouth, Massachusetts）
尼米兹海军上将也同意这种解释。他提到：
A ship is always referred to as 'she' because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder." ............Naval Ceremonies, Customs, and Traditions.
另外，古罗马时代常以建造船只的方式向某位女神致敬，一些航海民族也将船只视为母亲的化身。
还有另外一种猜想，可能与诺亚方舟有关？是她拯救了诺亚一家，为人类留下了火种，像母亲一样，所以后人对“舟”带有对母亲的感情，故称之为"she"，呵呵，只是牵强附会，没有来源的。 |
