Various passenger ships
Ships carry many people.
Passenger ships take people somewhere.
Some ships take only people. Cargo-passenger ships transport people and cargo. Ferries carry people and cars together.
For those who live on a small island, passenger ships are an essential vehicle. Passenger ships are used to transport goods, deliver mails, and to go to school or work.
