A ship ( Audio (US) (help·info)) is a large vessel that floats on water. Ships are generally distinguished from boats based on size and cargo or passenger capacity. Ships may be found on lakes, seas, and rivers and they allow for a variety of activities, such as the transport of people or goods, fishing, entertainment, public safety, and warfare. Ships and boats have developed alongside mankind. In major wars, and in day to day life, they have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate highly sophisticated vessels to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4 billion tons of cargo in 2007. These vessels were also key in history's great explorations and scientific and technological development. Navigators such as Zheng He spread such inventions as the compass and gunpowder. Ships have been used for such purposes as colonization and the slave trade, and have served scientific, cultural, and humanitarian needs. New crops that had come from the Americas via the European seafarers in the 16th century significantly contributed to the world's population growth. As Thor Heyerdahl demonstrated with his tiny craft the Kon-Tiki, it is possible to navigate long distances upon a simple log raft. From Mesolithic canoes to today's powerful nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, ships tell the history of human technological development. From Wikipedia under the

His primary ship that he used throughtout his life was a Y-1300 stock light freighter called the Millenium Falcon. He got the ship from Lando Calrissian before A New Hope and used it to carry out his smuggling operations. He flew the ship in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. During Return of the Jedi Solo piloted a caputured Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle called the Tydirium onto the Forest Moon of Endor, carrying the rebel strike team he was in charge of. He did not pilot any other starships during any of the films.
