Central New York Boat Name Suggestions After Public Picks ‘Boaty McBoatface’ For Royal Research Vessel

When you let the public decide you get Boaty McBoatface as the top name to be given to a British Research Vessel worth close to $400 million.

The National Environment Research Council in the UK polled the public to #NameOurShip. No one would have guessed the top name, Boaty McBoatface would garner so many votes it'd crash the website.

Since it's a ship shouldn't it be called Shippie McShipface. What would a baot in Central or Upstate New York be called?

Don't get too excited, the fine print says the final decision on the boat name will be made by the Chief Executive at NERC.
