Calibrating a compass on a boat?

There's not a "line in the sand" when it comes to defining the difference between a boat and a ship. Yes, typically ships are longer than 100' but the design rules consider a "small vessel" anything under 90 meters long (295 feet).
A ship is typically used for deepwater navigation - but it does not have to "go to sea" - there are plenty of oil tankers (carrying products like gasoline) that do "coast wise" runs; from one port to another along the coast. These vessels are considered ships.
Usually a ship is a vessel that is used commercially; cruise ships, tankers, container ships etc., but there are also commercial boats - like tug boats and fishing boats that are used by full time fishermen.

The link below is for a site with general information (including name) of many ships. It claims to be a "World Register" but I am not sure when it was last updated.
The good news is that there are ships out there with the same name; naming a ship isn't like naming a business. Even if you choose a name that you love - only to find out that a Greek Shipping company has a bulker with the same name, you can keep the name anyway.
