Biology

Blood and lymphatic vessels

Blood vessels are tubular structures that form the circulatory system in animals, transporting blood to and from tissues to deliver oxygen, nutrients, and hormones while removing waste products. They are classified into three primary types—arteries, veins, and capillaries—each characterized by distinct wall compositions consisting of three layers: the innermost tunica intima lined with endothelium, the middle tunica media containing smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers, and the outermost tunica adventitia composed of connective tissue. Arteries, with thicker muscular and elastic walls to withstand high pressure, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues, except for the pulmonary arteries which transport deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Veins, featuring thinner walls and one-way valves to prevent backflow, return deoxygenated blood to the heart under lower pressure, except for the pulmonary veins which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs, relying on skeletal muscle contractions and respiration to aid flow. Capillaries, the smallest vessels with walls formed solely by a single layer of endothelium, connect arteries and veins, enabling the exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes between blood and surrounding tissues through diffusion.^[1]^[2]^[3] The human circulatory system encompasses approximately 5,600 to 11,800 miles (9,000 to 19,000 km) of blood vessels, forming an extensive network that ensures efficient distribution of blood throughout the body.^[4] New vessel formation occurs through angiogenesis, a physiological process where existing blood vessels sprout to create capillary networks, essential for tissue growth, wound healing, and embryonic development; this is regulated by growth factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). One common disorder affecting blood vessels is atherosclerosis, characterized by the buildup of plaques—composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, calcium, and cellular debris—in artery walls, leading to narrowing, hardening, and reduced blood flow. Symptoms of atherosclerosis often manifest as chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, fatigue, or leg pain during activity, while major risk factors include high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] Lymphatic vessels complement the blood vascular system as a parallel network of thin-walled, permeable tubes that collect excess interstitial fluid, known as lymph, from tissues and return it to the bloodstream via connections to veins near the heart. These vessels, similar to veins, possess one-way valves and are lined with endothelium but lack a continuous basement membrane in initial segments to facilitate fluid uptake; larger collecting vessels incorporate smooth muscle for propulsion. Lymphatic vessels transport lymph to lymph nodes, where it is filtered to remove pathogens, debris, and excess proteins, supporting immune surveillance by delivering antigens and immune cells like lymphocytes to initiate responses against infections. This system also absorbs dietary fats from the intestines and maintains fluid balance, preventing edema.^[9]^[10] The foundational understanding of blood circulation through vessels was established by William Harvey in his 1628 treatise Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus, where he demonstrated through experiments on animals and cadavers that blood flows in a closed loop from the heart via arteries to tissues and back through veins, propelled by the heart's pumping action rather than being consumed or generated anew as previously thought.^[11]

Plant vascular systems

The vascular system in plants consists of specialized conducting tissues known as xylem and phloem, which are present in vascular plants or tracheophytes and enable the transport of water, minerals, and organic nutrients throughout the organism.^[12] These tissues form continuous networks, often bundled together in stems as vascular bundles and arranged in a central stele in roots, facilitating long-distance transport essential for plant growth and survival.^[12] Unlike non-vascular plants such as mosses, which rely on diffusion and osmosis for short-distance movement and are thus limited in size and habitat, the vascular system in tracheophytes allows for larger stature and colonization of diverse environments.^[13] Xylem vessels are composed of dead, hollow cells at maturity, primarily tracheids and vessel elements, which form elongated tubes for unidirectional transport of water and dissolved minerals from roots to aerial parts.^[12] Tracheids, found in all vascular plants, are narrower and connected by pits in their lignified secondary walls, while vessel elements, characteristic of angiosperms and some gymnosperms, are wider, stacked end-to-end with perforated end walls (perforation plates) for efficient flow.^[12]^[14] The lignification provides mechanical support against collapse under tension and contributes to the plant's structural integrity, enabling taller growth.^[15] Water movement occurs via the cohesion-tension mechanism, driven by transpiration pull from leaf evaporation, which generates negative pressure to draw water upward against gravity, a process enhanced by the capillary action within these conduits.^[15] This system is crucial for survival in dry environments, as it efficiently delivers water to photosynthetic tissues despite limited soil moisture.^[15] Phloem, in contrast, comprises living cells that conduct sugars like sucrose and other organic compounds bidirectionally from source regions (e.g., leaves) to sinks (e.g., roots or growing tissues).^[12] The primary conducting units are sieve tube elements (STEs), elongated cells lacking nuclei and with porous sieve plates at their ends for bulk flow, supported metabolically by adjacent companion cells connected via plasmodesmata.^[16] Transport follows the pressure-flow hypothesis, where active loading of sugars at sources creates osmotic gradients that draw water from xylem into phloem, generating turgor pressure to propel sap toward sinks, where unloading dissipates the pressure.^[16] This mechanism ensures nutrient distribution for growth and storage, complementing xylem's role in maintaining plant physiology.^[16] Vascular tissues first evolved in the Silurian period around 430 million years ago, marking the transition to tracheophytes and enabling terrestrial adaptation by overcoming diffusion limitations in non-vascular ancestors.^[17] In woody plants, seasonal variations in xylem production form annual rings, with wider earlywood cells in spring for rapid water conduction and denser latewood in summer, providing a record of environmental conditions and supporting radial growth.^[18] The development of these systems was pivotal for increasing plant height, as lignified xylem offered rigidity against wind and gravity, allowing dominance of vascular flora in ecosystems.^[12]

Containers

Everyday and household vessels

Everyday and household vessels encompass a wide array of man-made hollow containers designed for the storage, serving, or display of liquids and solids in domestic settings, including items such as cups, bowls, vases, and bottles. These objects facilitate essential daily activities like drinking, cooking, and decoration, evolving from simple utilitarian forms to more specialized and aesthetically refined designs over millennia. The English term "vessel" in this context originates from the Latin vas, denoting a container or vase, which passed into Old French as vaissel (a diminutive form) and entered Middle English around 1300 as a general word for a small receptacle or holder.^[19] The materials used for these vessels have diversified significantly throughout history, beginning with natural substances and advancing to synthetic ones. Clay pottery represents the earliest form, with the oldest known ceramic vessels dating to approximately 18,000–20,000 years ago, discovered in caves in southern China such as Yuchanyan, where they were likely used for cooking and storage by hunter-gatherer societies.^[20] The invention of the potter's wheel around 3500–3250 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia revolutionized production, enabling more uniform and efficient shaping of clay into household items like bowls and jars.^[21] Glass emerged later as a material for vessels, with the first molded glass containers appearing around 1500 BCE in Mesopotamia and Egypt, initially as luxury items for elite households before becoming more widespread. Metals, such as pewter—an alloy of tin and other metals—have been employed since the Bronze Age, with examples from 1450 BCE Egyptian tombs used for ceremonial and everyday tableware due to their durability and malleability.^[22] In the 20th century, plastics like polyethylene, first synthesized in the 1930s, introduced lightweight, inexpensive alternatives for bottles and storage containers, transforming household use through mass production and recyclability.^[23] Household vessels serve diverse functions tailored to cultural and practical needs, with distinct types emerging over time. Drinking vessels, such as mugs and glasses, prioritize ease of use and portability; for instance, ceramic mugs trace back to ancient civilizations, while glass tumblers became common after glassblowing techniques spread from the Roman Empire in the 1st century CE. Cooking vessels like pots and bowls, often made of clay or metal, have been staples since prehistoric times for boiling and mixing, with enameled iron pots gaining popularity in Europe from the 18th century for heat resistance. Decorative vessels, including vases for flowers, emphasize artistry and display, evolving from simple Neolithic forms to ornate porcelain examples in 18th-century China and Europe. A notable cultural example is the ancient Greek amphora, a two-handled ceramic jar developed around the 8th century BCE, primarily used for storing and transporting olive oil and wine in households and trade, its pointed base allowing stable stacking in ships or cellars. Standardization of vessel sizes has enhanced practicality and commerce, particularly in modern times. Ancient examples varied widely, but the pottery wheel facilitated greater consistency in forms like the Greek amphora, which held about 26–39 liters depending on the type. By the 19th century, the metric system, adopted in France in 1795, led to uniform volumes for bottles, such as the 750 ml wine bottle standardized around 1866 to align with international trade measurements, while everyday soda and water bottles now commonly adhere to liter-based capacities for global compatibility.^[24]

Industrial and scientific vessels

Industrial and scientific vessels encompass engineered containers such as tanks, reactors, and laboratory glassware, designed to handle the storage, mixing, processing, or reaction of liquids, gases, or solids under controlled conditions in manufacturing, chemical engineering, and experimental settings.^[25] These vessels differ from everyday containers by their specialized construction to withstand high pressures, temperatures, or corrosive substances, ensuring safety and efficiency in professional applications.^[26] Key types include reaction vessels, which facilitate chemical reactions; storage tanks like silos for bulk materials such as grains or pressure vessels for compressed gases; and distillation apparatus for separating mixtures through vaporization and condensation.^[27] In laboratories, common reaction vessels comprise borosilicate glassware such as beakers for holding and heating samples, Erlenmeyer flasks for mixing and titration, and volumetric flasks for precise dilutions.^[28] Industrial examples feature cylindrical or spherical pressure vessels used in pharmaceutical and petrochemical processes, often operating in batch modes for discrete reactions or continuous modes for steady production flows.^[29] Materials selection prioritizes durability and compatibility, with stainless steel favored for its corrosion resistance in chemical environments, while laboratory glassware typically employs borosilicate for thermal shock resistance up to 500°C.^[30]^[31] Designs incorporate safety features like pressure relief valves to prevent over-pressurization and rupture disks for emergency venting, adhering to standards such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), which outlines rules for construction, inspection, and operation to mitigate risks in high-pressure systems.^[32] These codes, updated biennially, cover aspects from material specifications to nondestructive testing, ensuring vessels meet safety thresholds for pressures exceeding 15 psi.^[33] The development of industrial vessels traces to the 18th-century factories during the early Industrial Revolution, where steam boilers necessitated robust pressure-containing designs, evolving significantly by the 1800s with advancements in metallurgy.^[34] Modern applications highlight their scale, as seen in brewing fermenters capable of holding up to 100,000 liters for large-scale beer production through controlled fermentation processes.^[35] In chemical engineering, these vessels enable efficient batch processing for pharmaceuticals or continuous operations in refineries, optimizing yield and resource use.^[36] Innovations in cryogenic vessels, used for storing liquid nitrogen at its boiling point of -196°C, feature vacuum-insulated double-wall constructions with multi-layer super-insulation to minimize heat transfer and evaporation losses, supporting applications in biotechnology and medical preservation.^[37] Recent designs incorporate self-pressurizing systems that harness natural vaporization for dispensing, enhancing efficiency in laboratory and industrial cryogenic handling.^[38]

Watercraft

Maritime vessels

Maritime vessels are large watercraft designed for ocean navigation, typically distinguished from smaller boats by their size, displacement, and capacity for extended voyages. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a ship is broadly understood as any self-propelled sea-going vessel capable of being used for transportation on water, though the convention does not provide a precise size threshold; however, international standards often classify vessels as those exceeding 24 meters in length or 100 gross tons for regulatory purposes.^[39]^[40] In maritime law, the term "vessel" encompasses any watercraft or artificial contrivance used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on navigable waters, including non-seagoing craft if they are registered and engaged in maritime activities.^[41] This definition supports their role in global trade, military operations, and passenger transport, emphasizing functionality over rigid metrics.^[42] The primary types of maritime vessels include merchant vessels, which dominate commercial shipping and encompass cargo ships such as bulk carriers, container vessels, and tankers for transporting goods like dry bulk commodities, standardized containers, or liquid cargoes like oil; naval vessels, including warships, destroyers, and submarines designed for defense and combat; and passenger vessels, such as cruise ships and ferries that carry large numbers of people for leisure or short-haul transport.^[43]^[44] Propulsion systems have evolved significantly, beginning with sail power in ancient and historical eras, transitioning to steam engines in the 19th century for greater reliability on long routes, followed by diesel engines in the early 20th century for improved efficiency and fuel economy, and advancing to nuclear propulsion in military applications since the mid-20th century, with emerging electric and hybrid systems for reduced emissions in modern commercial fleets.^[45]^[46] Key structural components include hull designs: displacement hulls, which push through water for stability in large ships like tankers, versus planing hulls, which skim the surface at high speeds and are more common in smaller, faster vessels like ferries.^[47]^[48] Historically, the oldest known seagoing vessels date to around 3000 BCE, exemplified by ancient Egyptian reed boats constructed from papyrus, which enabled early maritime trade along the Nile and Red Sea.^[49] Safety and operations are governed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), particularly through the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), first adopted in 1914 following the Titanic disaster to establish minimum standards for ship construction, equipment, and emergency procedures.^[50] As of January 2025, the global merchant fleet comprised approximately 112,500 vessels of at least 100 gross tons, facilitating over 80% of world trade by volume.^[51]

Inland and historical watercraft

Inland and historical watercraft encompass vessels designed primarily for navigation on rivers, lakes, canals, and other confined inland waterways, distinguishing them from larger ocean-going ships by their adaptations for shallower drafts and localized operations. These include simple dugout canoes, flat-bottomed barges for cargo transport, and era-specific craft like oar-powered galleys.^[52] Such vessels have facilitated trade, exploration, and daily transport in non-maritime environments since prehistoric times, often prioritizing maneuverability over speed or capacity.^[53] Common types of inland watercraft include canal boats, which are narrow, elongated vessels pulled by animals or towed for freight on artificial waterways, and river steamers, paddlewheel-driven boats that emerged in the 19th century to haul goods and passengers along major rivers like the Mississippi or Danube. Historical examples feature Viking longships, clinker-built (overlapping plank) vessels from the 8th to 11th centuries that combined oar propulsion with a single square sail for versatility in raids and trade along European rivers such as the Rhine and Seine.^[54] Similarly, Roman galleys, particularly triremes with three banks of oars powering up to 170 rowers, were used for military and commercial purposes in the Mediterranean's inland seas and coastal rivers during the classical period. Design features of these vessels emphasize functionality for restricted waters, such as shallow drafts—often under 1 meter—to avoid grounding in rivers and lakes, enabling access to shallow inland routes.^[55] Historical construction relied on wood, like oak for Viking longships or cedar for Egyptian river boats, while modern inland craft increasingly use fiberglass or steel for durability and lighter weight.^[54] Propulsion varied from manual methods like poling or rowing in canoes and barges to small internal combustion engines in contemporary designs, with early steamers using paddlewheels for efficient upstream travel.^[56] The earliest known vessels date to around 10,000 years ago, with the Pesse canoe—a 3-meter-long dugout carved from a single pine trunk—representing the Mesolithic origins of inland watercraft in northern Europe.^[57] In ancient Egypt, Nile River vessels played a crucial role in historical trade and construction, transporting limestone blocks from quarries like Tura to the Giza pyramids via a now-dry branch of the Nile during the Fourth Dynasty (c. 2580–2560 BCE), as documented in the Wadi el-Jarf papyri.^[58] Modern examples persist in recreational and residential forms, such as houseboats on lakes like Tahoe or Cumberland, which combine living quarters with shallow-draft hulls for stable mooring in calm waters.^[59] Preservation efforts have revealed much about historical construction techniques, as seen with the Mary Rose, a Tudor warship that sank in 1545 during the Battle of the Solent and was recovered in 1982 after extensive underwater excavation.^[60] This 500-ton vessel, built in 1510 with a clinker-style hull and multiple gun decks, exemplifies early modern European shipbuilding adapted for both riverine and coastal use, yielding over 19,000 artifacts that illuminate 16th-century naval design.^[60]

Arts and entertainment

Film and television

In film and television, "Vessel" has been used as a title for several productions that explore themes of containment, transformation, and human vulnerability, often employing the term metaphorically to represent bodies, ships, or carriers of otherworldly forces. These works tend to be independent or genre-specific rather than mainstream blockbusters, emphasizing personal or societal struggles through the lens of literal or symbolic vessels.^[61] The 2014 documentary Vessel, directed by Diana Whitten, chronicles the efforts of Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts and her organization Women on Waves, which uses a chartered ship to provide abortions in international waters near countries with restrictive laws. Premiering at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival where it won the Audience Award in the Documentary Feature Competition, the film highlights Gomperts' innovative navigation of legal loopholes to advance reproductive rights globally, sparking discussions on access to safe healthcare. It received positive critical reception, including an IMDb user rating of 7.5/10 based on over 280 reviews, and has been praised for its inspiring portrayal of activism and sacrifice in the face of opposition. The documentary's impact extends to broader conversations on women's autonomy, with screenings at over 350 festivals and availability on platforms like Netflix, contributing to awareness of offshore medical services as a tool for social change.^[62]^[63]^[64]^[61]^[65] Another notable entry is the 2016 drama The Vessel, written and directed by Julio Quintana, starring Martin Sheen and Lucas Quintana. Set in a Puerto Rican coastal town devastated by a tsunami a decade earlier, the film follows a fisherman who experiences a miraculous survival, prompting community introspection on faith, grief, and rebuilding life after tragedy. Produced with executive input from Terrence Malick, it premiered at the Puerto Rico International Film Festival and explores the "vessel" motif through the protagonist's role as a conduit for hope amid lingering trauma. The film holds an IMDb rating of 5.4/10 from over 1,200 users and has been noted for its contemplative style and emotional depth in independent cinema circles.^[66]^[67] On television, "Vessel" appears as an episode title in various series, often centering on supernatural or sci-fi elements where characters serve as hosts or containers for entities. In the 2006 Smallville season 5 finale "Vessel" (episode 22), Clark Kent confronts a Kryptonian criminal possessing Lex Luthor's body on a chaotic night in Metropolis, culminating in Clark's banishment to the Phantom Zone; the episode earned an IMDb rating of 8.8/10 from nearly 1,500 viewers for its high-stakes action and series mythology payoff. Similarly, the 2016 Supernatural season 11 episode "The Vessel" (episode 14) depicts the Winchesters time-traveling to 1943 aboard the USS Bluefin submarine to retrieve a cursed Hand of Glory weapon against the Darkness, blending WWII horror with themes of possession and sacrifice, and receiving strong fan acclaim for its historical tension. Other examples include the 2001 The Outer Limits episode "The Vessel," where a reporter becomes a host for an alien consciousness during a near-death experience, underscoring the theme of the human body as a fragile container, rated 6.6/10 on IMDb. These episodes exemplify how "vessel" frequently symbolizes a vessel for secrets, powers, or curses in genre storytelling.^[68]^[69]^[70] In broader television usage, particularly in Star Trek franchises, "vessel" commonly denotes starships, such as the USS Enterprise described as "the vessel" in episodes like "The Cage" (1965 pilot) and numerous others, emphasizing naval terminology for exploratory crafts carrying crews through space; this linguistic choice reinforces themes of humanity's fragile containment within technology amid cosmic unknowns. Overall, film and TV interpretations of "Vessel" prioritize niche narratives over commercial spectacle, with the 2014 documentary standing out for its real-world advocacy influence.

Music

In music, "Vessel" refers to several artists, albums, and songs across genres such as electronic, alternative rock, and experimental. The British electronic musician known as Vessel, the alias of Sebastian Gainsborough, is a producer and composer based in Bristol who emerged in the early 2010s with left-field, bass-driven electronica blending experimental techno and ambient elements.^[71] His debut album, Order of Noise, released in 2012 on Tri Angle Records, features tracks like "Vizar" and "Ttetixiz" that incorporate IDM, dub, and abstract techno influences, earning acclaim for its unconventional structures and atmospheric dread.^[72]^[73] The American duo Twenty One Pilots released their breakthrough album Vessel on January 8, 2013, via Fueled by Ramen, marking a shift toward alternative rock with hip-hop, reggae, and electronic infusions.^[74] The record debuted at No. 58 on the Billboard 200 and later peaked at No. 21, driven by singles such as "Holding on to You" and "Car Radio," which explore themes of mental health and self-doubt.^[75] By 2016, Vessel achieved RIAA Platinum certification for over 1 million units sold in the U.S., and as of 2019, it surpassed 2 million equivalent album units; every track has since been certified Gold or higher by the RIAA, making it the first album to accomplish this feat.^[76]^[77] On Spotify, Vessel has accumulated over 2 billion streams as of November 2025, reflecting its enduring popularity.^[78] Songs titled "Vessel" often evoke metaphors of emotional containment or personal transformation, appearing in various genres. For instance, in progressive metal, tracks with this name symbolize inner turmoil and rebirth, aligning with broader lyrical motifs of journey and vulnerability found in related works.^[72]

Literature and visual arts

In literature, the concept of a vessel frequently symbolizes the human body, soul, or existential journey, representing containment, vulnerability, and transformation. Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851) employs nautical vessels as central metaphors for the perilous human odyssey, with the whaling ship Pequod embodying the crew's collective fate amid obsession and the unknown seas. This motif underscores themes of isolation and pursuit, where the ship serves as both protector and prison for the soul's quest. Similarly, in Sylvia Plath's poetry, the female body often functions as a metaphorical vessel—fragile yet enduring—holding emotions, societal expectations, and inner turmoil, as explored in analyses of her confessional style.^[79] A contemporary example is Lisa A. Nichols' science fiction novel Vessel (2019), which follows astronaut Catherine Wells grappling with lost memories and fractured identity after a deep-space disaster strands her, using the spaceship and human form as vessels for psychological and existential containment. In visual arts, the vessel motif evokes ethereal and symbolic depths, often representing the soul's journey or inner mysteries. French Symbolist painter Odilon Redon (1840–1916) frequently depicted vessels in dreamlike compositions during the early 1900s, such as ethereal vases and boats that blend the tangible with the subconscious, symbolizing spiritual passage and enigma.^[80] His pastel Vase of Flowers (c. 1912–14), featuring vibrant, otherworldly blooms in a luminous container, captures this introspective quality and is part of the Museum of Modern Art's collection in New York.^[80] In contemporary practice, British artist Grayson Perry transforms ceramic vessels into narrative artworks, hand-throwing and glazing pots with intricate scenes that narrate personal and social stories, positioning the vessel as a metaphorical body for cultural critique on identity and gender. Historically, vessel symbolism extends to ancient Chinese bronze ritual artifacts from the Bronze Age (c. 2000–500 BCE), where elaborate ding and gu vessels—used in ancestral worship—served as conduits between the living and the divine, embodying power, harmony, and the soul's continuity.^[81] These Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE) creations, often adorned with taotie masks and motifs, highlight the vessel's role as a sacred container for offerings, influencing later artistic interpretations of journey and containment across cultures.^[81] Overall, the vessel persists as a versatile emblem in literature and visual arts, bridging physical form with profound metaphysical narratives.^[82]

Other uses

Architectural and structural vessels

Architectural and structural vessels refer to built environments designed to resemble or function symbolically as vessels, often emphasizing containment, navigation through space, or communal gathering. These structures draw on the vessel's archetypal form to create interactive or monumental public spaces, blending functionality with artistic expression. In ancient Egyptian architecture, boat-shaped tombs and pits served as symbolic vessels for the afterlife journey. During the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3100–2686 BCE), royal boat graves at Abydos featured elongated pits outlined in the shape of boats, plastered with mud and enclosed by brick walls, intended to house actual vessels for the pharaoh's voyage to the next world.^[83] Similar boat pits appear near pyramids, such as those at Giza for Khufu's solar boat, where the structure's form evoked the sun god Ra's celestial barque, integrating religious symbolism into funerary architecture.^[84] A prominent modern example is The Vessel at Hudson Yards in New York City, completed in 2019 and designed by Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio. This 46-meter-tall (150-foot) honeycomb-like climbing frame consists of 154 interconnected staircases, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings, forming a scalable "vessel" intended for public exploration and social interaction.^[85] Constructed from a raw welded and painted steel framework with a polished copper-colored steel underside, it draws influences from Indian stepwells and beehive structures, symbolizing community gathering and containment within an urban context.^[86] The $200 million project attracted over 2.5 million visitors in its first two years, fostering unexpected encounters among users.^[87] However, following four suicides between 2019 and 2021, it closed indefinitely in July 2021; safety measures, including steel-mesh netting on all levels, were installed during renovations, leading to its reopening in October 2024.^[88]^[89] Other contemporary designs evoke vessel forms through modular and symbolic elements. For instance, the Urban Vessel house in Fukuoka, Japan, designed by nano Architects in 2015, adopts a compact, boat-like profile to integrate with its riverside setting, emphasizing fluidity and containment in residential architecture.^[90] Shipping container-inspired buildings further exemplify this trend, repurposing industrial modules into vessel-shaped habitats that prioritize sustainability and portability, such as stacked configurations mimicking hulls for urban infill projects.^[91]

Technology and miscellaneous uses

In the realm of technology, Vessel was a short-form video subscription service launched in January 2015, offering users early access to premium content from creators for a monthly fee of $2.99, with availability in 155 countries.^[92] The platform focused on digitally native videos, partnering with entities like Playboy and Nerdist to provide exclusive releases days before other sites.^[93] Verizon acquired Vessel's technology and team on October 26, 2016, integrating it into its content discovery and recommendation systems before shutting down the service on October 31, 2016.^[94] In admiralty law, the term "vessel" encompasses every description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water, including structures like ships, boats, and even certain floating platforms if they possess navigability.^[95] This broad definition ensures admiralty jurisdiction applies to a wide range of maritime activities, prioritizing practical capability over fixed location.^[96] Religiously, a vessel often denotes a sacred container holding holy elements; in Christianity, the chalice serves as a consecrated vessel during the Eucharist to contain the wine, symbolizing Christ's blood, with traditions tracing its ritual use to the Last Supper.^[97] The Ark of the Covenant, a biblical artifact from around the 13th century BCE, functioned as a holy vessel in Judaism and early Christianity, housing the tablets of the Ten Commandments, Aaron's rod, and manna as divine relics.^[98] Advancements in 2025 have expanded technological applications of "vessel" concepts, particularly in virtual reality (VR) simulations for maritime training, where immersive VR environments replicate vessel operations to enhance crew safety and efficiency without physical risks.^[99] For instance, tools like VirtualShip® provide advanced VR packages for simulating ship handling and emergency scenarios, while DNV's updated standards now incorporate VR delivery formats for more adaptable training.^[100] AI-driven models further support vessel-related tech by improving object detection for monitoring and navigation, integrating sensor data to predict maritime traffic and reduce collisions.^[101]

People

Individuals with the surname Vessel

The surname Vessel is an uncommon English name, derived as a variant of Vessell, which originated as an occupational term for an officer responsible for managing vessels—referring to vats, casks, or containers—in a large household, stemming from the Anglo-Norman French word vesselle meaning "vat (wine) cask."^[102] It may also represent an Americanized adaptation of the Slovenian and Slovak surname Vesel, meaning "cheerful," or related forms like Czech Veselý.^[103] Historical records trace early instances to medieval Normandy, with mentions such as Robert de Wacellis and Roger Wasel in 1180–95 documents.^[104] In the United States, the Vessel surname first appears in census records from 1840, with a single family noted, growing to its highest concentration by 1880, primarily in the USA compared to the UK and Canada.^[103] As of the 2010 U.S. Census, it ranked approximately 42,511th in popularity among U.S. surnames, borne by around 500 individuals, with over half (56.47%) identifying as Black, reflecting possible influences from immigration and name adaptations in African American communities.^[105] The name's scarcity is evident in global genealogy databases, which document over 159,000 related records but highlight limited distribution, mostly in English-speaking regions.^[106] Due to the surname's rarity, historical and modern records document few prominent individuals bearing Vessel as a birth surname. Notable figures include Edy Vessel (born Edoarda Vesselovsky, 1940), an Italian actress known for her roles in films such as Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963) and The Trojan Horse (1961).^[107] Genealogical sources list everyday figures such as Ludwig Anton Vessel (an early 20th-century immigrant) and various U.S. residents like Larry D. Vessel, but none achieve widespread notability in fields like arts, science, or public life beyond such examples. Immigration patterns in the 19th century likely contributed to its presence in North America, often tied to English or Eastern European roots, though specific family crests or heraldry remain undocumented in standard sources.

Fictional characters named Vessel

In Marvel Comics, Vessel is a mutant villain affiliated with the extremist Morlock group Gene Nation, capable of draining the physical and psychic residue released upon death to augment his size, strength, durability, speed, and healing factor.^[108] This power allows him to grow progressively larger and more formidable with each absorption, often leaving desiccated husks in his wake.^[109] He debuted in Uncanny X-Men #323 (August 1995), created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Bryan Hitch, as part of a storyline involving mutant terrorism in New York City. An alternate-universe counterpart, Vessel (Earth-TRN1047), appears in the X-Man series, portrayed as a green-skinned mutant lacking visible irises or pupils, with bulging blood vessels and similar necromantic abilities derived from the deceased. This version, introduced in X-Man #60 (2000), serves as a rogue antagonist in a reality warped by the psi-emitter, emphasizing themes of uncontrolled mutation and psychic predation. In DC Comics, Vessel refers to Caden, an artificial humanoid entity engineered by Lex Luthor as part of his "Program" to cultivate young supervillains. Debuting in Red Hood: Outlaw Annual (2018) #3 (September 2019), written by Scott Lobdell with art by Adam Pollina, Caden is mentored by Red Hood (Jason Todd) and grapples with his synthetic origins while navigating moral conflicts in a world of enhanced beings. His design incorporates advanced nanotechnology, making him a vessel for Luthor's ambitions in genetic and cybernetic supremacy.^[110] In tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, "Vessel" commonly denotes player-created characters or races serving as hosts for extraplanar spirits, souls, or deities, often in homebrew systems to explore possession mechanics. For instance, the Vessel race on community wikis grants abilities like spirit-binding and enhanced resilience, symbolizing narrative roles as conduits for otherworldly forces in campaigns focused on horror or epic fantasy.^[111] Such constructs add depth to speculative storytelling by embodying themes of transformation and otherness.^[112]
