The practice of referring to boats, ships, and other vessels as feminine has historical and cultural roots. In some cases it comes down to linguistic tradition: many languages assign grammatical gender to nouns. Also, boats and ships have been personified throughout history, often portrayed as goddesses, nymphs, or protectors. This personification creates a connection between the vessel and feminine qualities such as grace, beauty, and nurturing.
