What are the dimensions of one of the compartments on a Navy Ship?
At Lloyd's - Society of Underwriters - (standing for Lloyd's coffee house, the place where the famous insurance house began business in the 17th century) of London. [Not to be confused with Lloyds Bank plc (no possessive apostrophe)].Ships are registered on 'Lloyd's List'. And when a vessel is lost, they ring a big brass bell.
What should I ask for my houseboat?
NB: A "ship" is defined in law by length (21mts, I believe, certainly thereabouts) and in UK waters, must be registered. This is, I believe, a different sense of the word registration and would probably be at the Dept. of Trade & Industry.
Why does a sailboat move by wind power?
All vessels intending to carry over 12 passengers must be similarly registered, regardless of their length. All must comply with high specifications. For passenger vessels, these were tightened up after the "Bow Belle" / "Marchioness" tragedy.
What is the origin of the term head in reference to a boat?
Vessels wishing to carry fewer than 12 passengers must register with the local authority (Borough Council etc.) in which they wish to operate. The specifications are lower. (You can drown 12 people, but 13 is frowned on, as goes the quip!)

For general (non passenger) vessels below 21mts registration is not compulsory. However, as in maritime law, an unregistered vessel can in certain circumstances be regarded as flotsam, to be claimed as salvage, valuable vessels are often registered with the Royal Yachting Association Small Ships Register. And display an RYASSR registration/number plate.

The Lloyds Register is a class of vessel, it does not mean that London is its port of register. A ship from anywhere in the world can be registered with Lloyds Register as long as they meet a certain criteria. Lloyds of London is different, it deals with the insurance market, its a complicated business if you want more information contact me at simon@jljmaritime.comIf "starboard is the right hand side of something, what is the left hand side?
Cant say better than mad-ness above for sea going vessels but for inland waterways you need to register with British Waterways or The Broads Authority or Environment Agency or the Port of London Authority or, or, or whoever depending on whose river or canal or lake or loch or water you wish to base your boat.Lloyds in Central London
