I believe it stems from the fact that the crews who served on ships consisted purely of men in the old days, so they considered their vessel their "love", that they're "married to the ship".

1 ReplyEdited by Icarus026: 8/9/2016 5:51:38 AMThe idea is that captains are married to their ships. Back in the day, almost all captains were male, so ships were referred to as female. The tradition of calling them "she" has carried on. On a side note, you will come across girl captains who refer to their ships as "he".
