    Stairs on a boat are called a ladder, so definitely sometimes

    Ladders are the liminal middle ground between stairs and ledges.

  22. minlex said: They’re stairs because they make u go up but u have to work for it urself. An elevator is not stairs because it just moves u without work from ur part. Elevators are only stairs when you walk on them
