Ship has a technical meaning and it has nothing to do with size. A ship is a vessel with three or more masts, all of them square-rigged. By that definition most of the things people call ships are not ships, and a great many enormous vessels do not qualify, while something quite small can. Sailors have never been sentimental about the distinction.

The reason there are so many different kinds is that a hull is an answer to a particular body of water. Shallow and fast, deep and heavy, tidal, iced, reef-strewn, open ocean: each one rules out most shapes and rewards one. A boat type is really a description of a coastline or a river, worked out by people who could not afford to be wrong about it.

Which is why the oldest answers never stopped working. The coracle, a bowl of hide stretched over a frame, was being used in Britain when Caesar's people arrived in 49 BC, and it is still in use on British rivers now. A traveller from the Bronze Age would recognise one on sight, and would be right about how to get into it.
