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, sort of a plural in a singular form, 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 .
