Boat tie ship (or boat-ship-tie) is an 11-cell still life.

As its name implies, it involves a boat having been tied to a ship.

Commonness

Main article: List of common still lifes

Boat tie ship is the twenty-sixth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than hat but more common than very long boat.[1]

It is the 25th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than trans-boat with tail but more common than hat. It is the most common still life with 11 cells, being 15 times as common as elevener.[2]

One way for them to appear is when a pre-ship-tie has one of its cells prevented from forming, as shown below:

x = 11, y = 10, rule = B3/S23 4bo$3bob2o$3bo6bo$b2o5bobo$o7bo$bo7bo$bo5b2o$6bo$3b2obo$5bo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]] #C [[ GPS 4 THUMBSIZE 2 ]]
One generation before a fleet, but one of the cells of a ship-tie is prevented from forming. The two extra cells can come from anywhere and do not have to be sparks.

Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 21 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 31 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
