In other languages / cultures it's deliver, mail, send but in America it always goes on a ship.
I would guess back in our colonial days most deliveries to/from Europe were by ship (noun), then it evolved into the more general term for any transport method. We do that kind of linguistic evolution a lot.Dr. Mordrid
