A ship or vessel, in traditional terminology, refers to any seagoing vessel. As mankind took to the flight, the term was also applied to airships.
On Earth, ships were the primary tools of the US Navy and Royal Navy, spanning several centuries. Seagoing ships would continue to be used in a similar capacity by the Federation Naval Patrol well into the 24th century. (VOY: "Thirty Days")
Once mankind began travelling the stars, the specialized ships they used were known as starships.
In 2151, the starship Enterprise encountered the Akaali, a civilization which utilized a type of ship known as a clipper ship. (ENT: "Civilization")
In 2293, Montgomery Scott bought a boat in anticipation of his retirement. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
