shiplike
Resembling a boat
Resembling or characteristic of a ship in form, structure, or manner.
The word typically describes things that share qualities with vessels—a long narrow shape, a hull-like construction, or the way something moves through space: The building's shiplike prow jutted over the plaza.
Sometimes suggests the enclosed, self-contained quality of life aboard ship.
