A variant or archaic term for a type of small Irish boat or vessel, similar to a currach or coracle.
From Irish 'curach' or related Celtic words referring to traditional small boats. The spelling evolved through English records of Irish maritime culture.
This word survived from ancient Irish boat-building traditions—the same word root gave us 'coracle,' and both describe those surprisingly tough little boats made of hide and wood!
