Success. I was missing SDL_Flip(), which is why it was not showing up on the screen. However not I am having a problem with keeping the ship stay on the screen.
I think you meant to say
However, now I am having a problem with keeping the ship stay on the screen.
I ran the code and see the problem. The ship goes down ... and then down ... and never comes back up, unless I hit the arrow keys to move it up.
I think your intent was to have it bounce all around the screen, but when it hit an edge then it'd go the opposite direction.
Your if statement is wrong, but I don't think a single if statement is enough to handle this behavior. You need a more complex state machine to keep track of direction and how close the ship is to the edges of the screen.
