i think the first one because usually a ship is calld a "feminine" word and sailors call many things "feminine"
eg. There SHE blows.
SHE's a beauty...
so obviously the 2nd guuy couldnt have been a 'true' sailor, calling the box "hes a fine box"

I believe the subject gives a clue as to what kind of box this is.

They think it's a box, but it has a mirror at the back.  The female sailor sees a fine-looking woman, and the male sees a handsom chap.

Look at the post times. You and xyz posted at almost the same time. You probably posted while he was filling out his. He did not see yours until after he finished posting. This happens occasionally around here. You should never assume that someone posting right after you has read your post.
