I think ships are an edge-case for hCard.
For books, plays and films, I would think that's a job for a "citation"
microformat, once we have one (and one is surely needed).
[One could argue that a physical copy of a book could have an hCard,
with an extended-address of "Shelf 54, Floor 3, Anytown Library"; but
that's really stretching the logic.]
As for "pretty much anything", I'll leave that for others to decide ;-)
I'm not familiar with TEI:
"a consortium which collectively develops and maintains a
standard for the representation of texts in digital form. Its
chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding
methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities,
social sciences and linguistics.
