REFUGE CRAFT is a term used to describe vessels that are used to provide shelter and safety for people in times of distress. The term is derived from the word 'REFUGE, ' which means a place of safety or protection. The most common type of REFUGE craft is an ARK, which is a large boat or ship designed to carry many people and supplies in times of emergency. ARKs are typically equipped with lifeboats, food, water, and other supplies to help those on board survive during a crisis.
