The bark that held a prince went down.

Please explain what is (bark) in this sentence.

Probably from Spanish barco.  Related words embark, disembark (get on/off a ship); embarcadero (waterfront area).

if it is the ship or barge then the correct spelling is barque.

And in U.S., "bark" is also acceptable as per American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.
