Ummmm.... yes, it does.
Not just in common usage, but there are many patents regarding barges and their prows (including how to control a towed barge using connectors on the prow).
It doesn't have to be a sharp cut bow that cuts the water and has a masthead attached - it's just the front of the craft (ship or air).
