This could be a double definition.

'pitcher's' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.

'craft' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vessel that I've seen before include "Kind of ship or a kitchen pot (6)" , "Boat or bottle, say" , "Large boat; container" , "Craft for water transportation" , "Blood-carrying tube or a ship" .)
