ship

(nautical) A water-borne vessel generally larger than a boat.

(chiefly in combination) A vessel which travels through any medium other than across land, such as an airship or spaceship.

I don't know if there is another standard method, but the following approach works: Consider the collision of gliders from three rakes that produces a medium spaceship in the _same_ direction as the rake. This ship will follow along to the next collision point, which will not produce a spaceship, but rather some stable garbage, consisting of a block and a beehive.

Aside from the one ship in B3/S124 shown above, the only spaceships of this size (with period up to 20) in any of these rules are the Life glider and the three known from B2/ (each of which also is found in some variants of the Life or B2/ rules).

1995 November 12, Rich Holmes, “Totalistic spaceships”, in comp.theory.cell-automata (Usenet):

1994 May 7, David Bell, “HighLife - An Interesting Variant of Life (part 1/3)”, in comp.theory.cell-automata (Usenet):

In the case of these "ship" neighborhoods, birth will occur at the center cell, thus deviating from the "overcrowding" rule of Life (HighLife allows such a birth in all neighborhoods containing 6 cells).

1994 June 5, Paul Callahan, “Interesting life program”, in comp.theory.cell-automata (Usenet):

(cellular automata) A particular still life consisting of an empty cell surrounded by six live cells.

(archaic, nautical, formal) A sailing vessel with three or more square-rigged masts.

A dish or utensil (originally fashioned like the hull of a ship) used to hold incense.

(cartomancy) The third card of the Lenormand deck.

This means that the landing wheels are not so far forward of the ship's center of gravity ; and that means that ground contact is less likely to produce a bounce.

1944, Wolfgang Langewiesche, Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying:

In addition to the four NAA pilots, three Air Force and one RAF pilot, all based at Edwards, flew the ship after first being checked out on the "tether rig."
