ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ship camel

Okay, so let's imagine you have a very big camel and you want to send it to another place very far away. But the problem is, you can't just pick up the camel and carry it there, right? You need something big enough to carry the camel and strong enough to withstand the journey.

That's where the ship comes in. A ship is a big boat that can carry big things, like your camel. The ship has a big open area called a cargo hold where things can be stored and transported safely across seas, rivers, and other bodies of water.

So, to ship your camel, you would need to find a ship that is big enough and suitable to transport animals. You would carefully guide your camel onto the ship and make sure it's comfortable and secure for the journey.

Once the ship sets sail, it will travel across the water to the destination where your camel will be unloaded safely and happily.

In summary, a ship is a big boat that can carry big things, like camels, across water to different destinations.
