Unusual bracketed antedating for the Historical #Dictionary of #ScienceFiction: "ship", a spaceship, fr the first English translation of Lucian of Samosata in 1663! But refers to a nautical ship caught in a whirlwind & then traveling the stars.
Also updated the entry.

I have to imagine there are other examples of "ship" referring to something that travels in space from proto-SF sources: Please find them and send them to me!
