Knew I'd forgotten something. The ship doesn't present a considerable problem in ownership, I agree in that regard. I should've named it, different from Vultiph, as 'The Ship that Theseus Sailed in On' firstly, and then Theseus' ship thereafter, because we wish to identify the ship later as identical to the ship before.

If we only wish to know which ship belongs to Theseus, the problem isn't as large, and I believe your reasoning that meaning is use is correct.
