A ship can be a ship or an airplane.
A ship is a construction capable of floating . The term, from the Latin navis , is used as a synonym for vessel or ship .
For example: "The ship will arrive at the port of Cape Pedro within hours" , "The wind caused the ship to turn upside down, throwing its five crew members into the icy waters of the ocean" , "My grandfather used to sit on the beach to observe the ships heading to the peninsula .
Of this type of ships, which must have properties such as stability or buoyancy as well as resistance, we can also highlight that they are made up of the following fundamental parts: deck, bow, stern, propeller, anchor or superstructure.
spaceship
An aircraft or spacecraft , on the other hand, is a machine that has the means of propulsion and direction necessary to navigate in outer space , either with or without crew: "When I grow up I want to fly in a spaceship , " NASA presented a new spacecraft that would make its first trip in 2020, " Russia works together with China in the development of spacecraft."
Many spacecraft still belong to the realm of science fiction , since they require technological development that has not yet been achieved. To date, man -made spaceships have a rocket (which propels the vehicle) and the ship itself.
In the same way, the term flying saucer or steering wheel is also used to refer to the supposed vehicles that extraterrestrials use to reach Earth. Thus, in science fiction films it is common to see various types of ships like those, which usually have round shapes, exit hatches or even a circular ring that surrounds them.

The concept in religion
For architecture , naves are the spaces that exist between walls or rows of arcades and that extend throughout important buildings such as religious temples . In churches, the main nave is the one that is in the center of the construction from the entrance door to the presbytery or the transept.
Within the religious sphere, there is also a term that makes use of the word that concerns us now. Specifically, it is the nave of San Pedro , which is a "poetic" expression to refer to the Catholic Church .
Likewise, in this field, we should highlight the existence of Noah's ship or Noah's ark , a vessel that, according to the Bible, this man built to protect living beings from the universal flood. His family and two specimens of each animal species were the ones who became passengers on that ship with the clear objective of later being able to repopulate the Earth.
"Burn the ships"
On the other hand, we cannot forget the verbal phrase "burn the ships" .
This has its origin in a historical event: the destruction of ships by Hernán Cortés when he carried out the conquest of Mexico , and is used to express that it is necessary to make a blunt, drastic and ruthless decision.
