Etymology
舶 combines 舟 (boat) with 白, which likely contributes the sound ハク. The character originally referred to large seagoing ships.
Meaning mnemonic
A boat 舟 with a white 白 sail on the ocean: that's a large liner or ship.
Reading mnemonic
For ハク, imagine a huge ocean liner with a white hull: the hull's white color cues ハク (haku) as the ship sails.
