Sailing ship Live WallpaperThe term sailing ship is now used to refer to any large wind-powered vessel. In technical terms, a ship was a sailing vessel with a specific rig of at least three masts, square rigged on all of them, making the sailing adjective redundant. In popular usage "ship" became associated with all large sailing vessels and when steam power came along the adjective became necessary. Large sailing vessels which are not ship rigged may be more appropriately called boats.There are many types of sailing ships, mostly distinguished by their rigging, hull, keel, or number and configuration of masts. There are also many types of smaller sailboats not listed here.[1] The following is a list of vessel types, many of which have changed in meaning over time:barque, or bark: at least three masts, fore-and-aft rigged mizzen mastbarquentine: at least three masts with all but the foremost fore-and-aft riggedbilander: a ship or brig with a lug-rigged mizzen sailbrig: two masts square rigged (may have a spanker on the aftermost)brigantine: two masts, with the foremast square-riggedcaravelcarrackcatamaran: vessel with two parallel hulls, usually identical or mirror images, linked by beams and deck or "trampoline", with a central mast or hull mounted in rarer circumstances e.g. Team Philips.clipper: a square-rigged merchant ship of the 1840–50s designed for speedy passagescog: plank built, one mast, square riggedcorvette: an imprecise term for a small, often ship-rigged vesselcutter: Fore-and-aft rigged, single mast with two headsailsdhow: a lateen-rigged merchant or fishing vesseldinghy: a small open boat, usually one mastwangga ndrua or drua, a sacred double hull canoe of Fiji, last made in the 1880s.frigate: a ship-rigged European warship with a single gundeck, designed for commerce-raiding and reconnaissancefishing smackfluyt: a Dutch oceangoing merchant vessel, rigged similarly to a galleonfull-rigged ship: three or more masts, all of them square riggedgalleon: a large, primarily square-rigged vessel of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
