before all other things were considered by men to be female, the ship was considered the mother of her crew. that intimacy branched outward with the evolution of transportation.

My best guess is that things like cars and boats are objects of great affection, and since historically it's been men who own and care for these things (not to mention are the ones who cause systematic changes like this), they get gendered as female objects. Anecdotally, I'm a gay man and I think of my car, bike, computer, etc. as "he"s.
