The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks.

The true ship is the ship builder.

Every day brings a ship, Every ship brings a word; Well for those who have no fear, Looking seaward well assured That the word the vessel brings Is the word they wish to hear.

The ship of heaven guides itself and will not accept a wooden rudder.

Every ship that comes to America got its chart from Columbus.

Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in.
