The references (11:42:1) and (11:42:2) are feminines but are related to (11:37:2)

which according to Corpus is masculine. In the Dictionary of Holy Quran by Malik Ghulam FaridIs the defination of فُلْكٌ is a ship or ships (singular and plural, masculine and feminine). Should (11:37:2) be changed to feminine?

You have a point there. There is no doubt that 11:37:2 refers to one ship. "She" is referred to again in 11:40:09 and 11:41:03 (fii ha) and 11:41:06 and 11:41:07, (majrahā) and (wamur'sāhā). And again "she" rested (11:44:11) wa-is'tawat.

So yes, I agree that 11:37:2 should be changed to feminine.
