By the same test, a parked ship looks like a building, acts like a
building, has entrances like a building... Tagging is not about
whether an object naturally conforms to our understanding of the
English word, but whether it has the right salient properties that
should be usefully shown on a map. I don't know if we have a strict
definition of "building" but I would go with something like "a
man-made structure with walls that is by default inaccessible to the
average pedestrian". We could equally ask, how would you micromap a
shipwreck...

I would think something like the following would be logical:
building=yes
tourism=attraction
attraction=ship
