A ship or boat is called she because their's always a great deal of bustle
about her...
Because there's always a gang of men around...
Because she takes a lot of paint to keep her good looking...
Because it's not the initial expense that breaks you, it's the upkeep...
Because she's all decked out...
It takes a good man to handle her...
Because she knows her topsides, hides her bottom, and when coming into port
always heads for the buoys...
