[BITList] When is a boat not a ship

[HUGH MCINTYRE]

I note a discussion on another site about reclassification of a Cornish chain ferry as a ship.  Recently I read, but failed to keep, a newspaper article on what might be the same topic, but with different emphasis.  According to this article, HM govt were keen to look into what is classified as a ship and what is not, in connection with a scheme for getting more tax from those afloat.  Does anyone else recollect this?

Hugh.
