Boat

Boats, also known as ships or sea vessels, are a form of transportation, mostly in use between Alliance harbors, but also used between certain neutral harbors. The Horde equivalent is the zeppelin airship, although some docked Forsaken ships have appeared in Northrend.
Boats stay docked for exactly 60 seconds, then depart.
In patch 2.3.0, transport ships were crewed by NPCs. Unfortunately, the vendors did not work as intended and the crews were eventually removed in a hotfix on 12/06/07.http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=1905770654&postId=19052191740&sid=1#0 The crew and guards returned in the Wrath of the Lich King beta, and with patch 3.0.2 on live realms.

==Boat types appearing in World of Warcraft==
===Sailing ships===
Name 	Description 	
Alliance Transport Ship 	Seen extensively throughout Azeroth, transport ships are employed by both the Alliance and the Steamwheedle Cartel (and various pirate entities). They employ a barque sail plan (three masts with square sails) with jibs and gaffs and have no prominent weaponry. Their sails would make them suited to open ocean sailing along many points, but at the cost of requiring more crew to man the square sails. 	
Alliance Battleship 	Introduced in Mists of Pandaria, these battleships are used by the Alliance as new warships in the Alliance-Horde war. 	
Pirate Frigate 	These frigates are the warship mainly used by the pirates of Azeroth, although there are a few to be found in the service of the Alliance. These ships employ brig sail plans, but appear to lack jibs or gaff sails, both of which would contribute greatly to the maneuvering and speed of these craft without increasing the crew requirements to man the sails. With just square sails, these ships would have poor performance sailing against the wind or maneuvering in battle. In realistic terms, these ships would only qualify as brig sloops because of their small armament. 	
Pirate Destroyer 	A new warship based on the mesh of the Transport with a gun deck. One can be found patrolling near Scalawag Point. 	
Orc destroyer 	These are the ships used by the orcs in the Alliance-Horde war, introduced in Cataclysm. 	
Forsaken Battleship 	These are ships dredged up from the bottom of the ocean, most of which were once among Lordaeron's fleets.Ask CDev Answers - Round 2 They are based on the same design as the Pirate Destroyer. 	
Forsaken Battleship 	 	
Forsaken ship 	 	
Vrykul Longboat 	The Kvaldir have two sizes of longship. 	
Darnassian Transport Ship	Employed principally by the night elves of Darnassus, these caravel ships are similar in size and capacity to transports. Built around a lateen sail, they can be seen frequently plying the waters of the west coast of Kalimdor. Their sail plan does not require an extensive crew but can be a liability on the high seas and dangerous in storms, a problem that would be exaggerated by its high sterncastle. 	
Blood Elven Destroyer 	A mainstay of the Second War, the trimaran destroyers of Silvermoon continue to be a common sight in the northern waters. While they do not mount heavy weaponry, their ramming prows and versatile junk rigging make them fierce opponents at sea. Their rigging would put them at a disadvantage for raw speed (partially offset by their hull configuration) but at a significant advantage for maneuvering in most wind conditions. 	
Alliance Icebreaker 	A relatively new invention, icebreakers appeared with the resurgence of Alliance activity in Northrend. Equipped with sturdy armored prows for icebreaking and backup brig rigging, they represent the resurgence of Alliance naval supremacy in the aftermath of the third war. Like frigates, their incomplete sail plan would put them at a disadvantage were it not for their steam powered paddlewheels. 	
Orcish/Ogre Juggernaught 	Once the centerpiece of the Horde's naval power, juggernaughts today are but a fading memory. Only one surviving ship of the type is known to exist, hidden away in a secret dock in the mines south of Moonbrook. Having basically no significant sails to speak of these ships were dependent on steam power to move. 	
High Elven Destroyer 	Time has not been kind to the ships of this class. Built during the days of the high elves, and featuring the prominent unicorn sails commonly employed by ships of Silvermoon before their downfall, these were at one time a common sight in the waters of Azeroth. No longer. No surviving member of this ship type has yet been found, and those wrecks that exist to be found are typically mangled so that no conclusive information can be drawn about their full sail plan. All that can be said for sure was that they were reasonably small craft with armored prows suitable for ramming.
