Naming Ships
From: Robert Eno

I would like to throw out a question for the nautical minded masters out there.

I am having a "discussion" regarding the naming convention for ships. I contend that a ship's name is never preceded by "the". In otherwords, Nova Scotia's famous schooner "Bluenose" would not be referred to as "the Bluenose" but simply "Bluenose"

Comments anyone?
