Consider this bit: \nI know too in whose mausoleum I tarried as a child, that little building\nof stone with its rose, its fountain and its flying ship all graven. I\nhave disturbed my own tomb, and now I go to lie in it.\" Citadel XXXVIII\n\nSince none of the sailing vessels that Severian uses in the narrative are mentioned as ahving wings, I think its safe to assume that he does mean a ship that flies. The ship is graven on his tomb as one of the symbols of his life, and to those that built the tomb, Severian disappeared while traveling on a space ship. Its possible that the graven ship is actually the tender on which Severian flew to Tzadkiel's ship. The tender looks like a terrestrial sailing vessel according to Book of the New Sun, which could have led to the ambiguity about its nature, especially in the mind of a young Severian who may have originally thought that it was a terrestrial vessel."
