In maritime law a vessel is a watercraft, a ship or boat, defined as a contrivance used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water, a status that decides which rules of admiralty and which duties to a crew apply. In Stewart v. Dutra Construction Co. (2005) the United States Supreme Court read the statutory definition to hold that even a floating dredge counts as a vessel so long as it is practically capable of carrying people or goods over water. The referent is a craft that floats and transports cargo or passengers, counted by its tonnage and registry, and it has nothing in common with a blood tube, a plant's water pipe, or a chemical tank beyond the shared word.[2][1]
