Ship or Vessel...?

Latest comment: 2 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

There is a glaring error in the very title of this article. MV (Motor Vessel) is used to designate vessels intermediate between a motor boat (MB) and a motor ship (MS). The Bermuda was inarguably a ship, as all contemporary sources, including the caption on the photograph in the infobox, refer to her. The article should be titled "MS Bermuda".

Looking through all the attached refs, most don't denote a type, but a few do confirm it as MV, while none of them denote it as MS. - \\'cԼF 00:56, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Enough sources call her 'M.V.', including The British Motor Ship (!) https://books.google.com/books?id=DUHy97pd1rEC&q=%22M.V.+Bermuda%22&dq=%22M.V.+Bermuda%22&hl=en&redir_esc=y , Shipbuilding and Shipping Record, The Economist etc. MV is merely a variation, not an error by any means.
