I think the word is used as slang for bark or barque in the following quotation, but what the hell.
"'...beat down-Channel as light as a fairy and put into Shelmerston the next day for supper, having met their friends off Gris Nez. And their barky... was not as weatherly as ours.'"
--P. O'Brian, The Commodore, 131
