<HTML>Hi Yngvi,
Probably telling something you know but in the English language at least ships are always female..... \"she has beautiful lines\" \"she has a good turn of speed\" etc
Perhaps its something of the masculine admiration for the feminine ?
Yes and although they are built by men and of steel, wood, copper, brass etc. they do have hearts and souls.
