The Barque of Saint Peter symbolises the Catholic Church as a barque. Saint Peter, the first pope, was a fisherman who became one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus. The Catholic Church believes that all succeeding popes, as his successors, steer the Barque. This may explain the etymology of the central part of churches, the nave, which stems from the Latin word for ship, navis. Wikipedia
