Boats Are Historically Named After Women, And It Has Been A Mystery Why This Tradition Exists.There Are Many Theories And One Theory Is That Ships Are Vessels Which Contain And Protect. This Symbolises Femininity Because A Woman’s Womb Too Does Contains And Protects. Another Prominent Theory Is That Boats Were Named After Goddesses And Other Mythical Figures.This Later Shifted To Popular Feminine Names As Recognition Of Gods And Goddesses Faded.
The Most Believable Theory Though, Focuses On European Languages And Their Traits. A Few Languages Such As German And French Grammatically Classify Objects Based On Gender. Objects Are Assigned Specific Masculine Or Feminine Tones. Though Most Ships Are Given Female Names, There Are A Few Exceptions. It Can Be Noticed That, Bigger Ships Have Had Names Of Male Characters.
