Sailing ship - online puzzles
The term " sailing ship " is most often used to describe any large vessel that uses sails to harness the power of wind.
A " ship -rigged" sailing ship specifically refers to a vessel that carries three or more masts with square sails on each. Other large sailing vessels, that are not ship -rigged, may be more precisely referred to by their sail rig, such as schooner, barque (also spelled "bark"), brig, barkentine, brigantine or sloop.
