In the nautical tradition, it came to mean any means of catching fish such as nets, fishing rods, etcetera. Fishing boats, as well, were included as a means of catching fish. It is this usage of referring to Fishing boats which has overwhelmed the previous one. And the word craft soon became synonymous with any vessel that traveled on water. Its use as a noun originally was as a group noun, e.g., There are many craft in the harbor. That way, one needed not distinguish between types of craft. Formerly, large sailing vessels were not all called ships , but were given names according to how many mast sailing masts they carried and how these were set with sails . Small sailing vessels were not necessarily all called boats either, but had terms of their own. Eventually it became customary to use the word in the singular, e.g., What a dilapidated craft DEFAULTSORT Craft Vehicle Category Vehicles Vehicle stub da Fart j no Fart y sv Farkost ... more details
