Ship is an atypical, and now obsolete, predominantly blue creature type used for cards picturing ships and zeppelins. <c>Pirate Ship</c> established Ship as a creature type all the way back in Alpha, though it would be quite a while before the odd line “Creature — Ship” actually appeared on <c>Talas Air Ship</c>.
In the Grand Creature Type Update the subtype Ship was eliminated, mostly replaced by the race of the ship's crew. The one exception is the silver-bordered <c>Toy Boat</c> from Unhinged which remained as a Ship artifact creature.

Never been ship-type[edit]
- <c>Skeleton Ship</c> from Ice Age never was a Ship, it changed from Legend to Skeleton.
- <c>Rishadan Airship</c> from Mercadian Masques never was a Ship, it changed from Pirate to Human Pirate.
Exception to the rule[edit]
- <c>Toy Boat</c> from Unhinged never has changed from being an Artifact Creature — Ship.
Artifacts[edit]
Because non-creature artifacts never have creature types these Ships never were named as such in the type line:
- <c>Predator, Flagship</c> from Nemesis
- <c>Skyship Weatherlight</c> from Apocalypse
- <c>Skysovereign, Consul Flagship</c> from Kaladesh (and other vehicles).
After the introduction of the artifact subtype Vehicle, Ships were heavily featured as such in the Ixalan block.
