BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF VESSELS OF TIME 

 

Venetian galley, XIV century 

 

Although its immediate antecedent Byzantines were dromonds. The kingdom of the Two Sicilies passed his secret to the Genoese and after they migrated to Rouen where galleys built for the French, but in the Atlantic did not give good results for the rough seas and large waves. In the Mediterranean galley imposed the mistral sailboat and tended to lift or shelter. However starting in 1317 the Venetian galleys convoy went every year through the terrible Flanders Bay of Biscay. 

 

Venetian galleass, XV century 

 

From the first galley built in the West in the eleventh century by the Norman Robert Guiscard, imitating grecobizantinos dromonds having learned the hard lesson of suffering a humiliating loss to those ships, after being perfected several advances, he wanted to move to a kind of "super-galley" which was called galleass and appeared in the fifteenth century. Approximately one third exceeded the surface of normal and all galleys had three masts: ARTIMON, teacher and ratchet. The city of Venice, where it was built, gave them their qualification. 

 

Venetian galleass, XVI century 

 

In the sixteenth century many galleys were built. Each was driven by paddles 60; carried a large castle at the stern and a smaller one in the bow. Their artillery was far superior to that of the galleys. In the great naval battles of this century had the galleys of paramount interest: that of Lepanto (1571) twelve galleys formed the Christian art and contributed to the victory over the Turkish fleet; the Armada (1588), sent by Philip II, had twenty galleys, whose end was not so glorious. Most of these ships came from Venice. 

 

Venetian galley, XV century 

 

Measures of medieval galleys were constant: 41 meters long by 3.46 meters wide. Armed with notebooks 84 oak girders larch, pine benches, castles poplar. On the cover wearing a fake rectangular platform covered the town, of which an important part is immersed in water forming the fall, which was a novelty compared to the old galleys. Calls galleys of Flanders had two masts: with the bow 24'30 meters per 1.81 m. boundary at the base and the lateen yard 33 meters long by 1'13 m. circumference. Some galleys had a third post 

 

Ratchet, XV century 

 

The ratchet was a major ocean-going ships for the transport that takes advantage of improvements in the Mediterranean navigation through contacts with other marine held in the Crusades. Its origin has been attributed to Italian and Portuguese. Normally mediate about 40 meters long by 10 wide. The "Santa Maria" Columbus was more of a rattle than a caravel or a mixture of both. The truth is that the ratchet had three masts with square sails. There were several variations in their gear: the mainmast accompanied him two smaller, sometimes there was no post in the bow. 

 

Genoese Carrack, XVI century 

 

In the Genoese navy and into the sixteenth century, although the galleys and galleys were dominating in navigation, rattles also had his post. It was introduced in rigging them Latino, triangular sails, which favored the tight wind. In terms of capacity, the ratchet could have her reach around 2,000 tonnes, which stood out from the other merchant ships of the time, in addition to go for stunning looks featuring a rounded surface, with its bow high to escape the dangers of rough seas and possible approaches. 

 

Dutch galleon, XVI century 

 

This type of ship was used by the Dutch for their extensive trade with the Indies. Gone were the vertical hull reinforcements, so heavy that slowed the progress of the ship. The bow was wearing flotation point of the stem a large square castle. Another important development was the emergence of the ports, openings, for windows, located on the sides and in the pit, which changed the appearance of the bulwark and allowed to place the guns in the batteries or decks, poking the enes can by these slides, which could be closed with caps, backing parts that held them. 

 

Venetian galley, XVII century 

 

We are in the century of a new flowering of the galley. It has two masts. Their average length is increased to 47 yards, but the maximum width or sleeve stays on 6 meters in the strongest ship. Oars become fifty-one in normal ships, standing in the position of that fifty-two baria a stove for cooking. Candles are of Latino or triangular. The helmet has luxurious ornaments, as in all the warships of that era. The sail area did not exceed 500 meters, number four or five times lower than that of other contemporary ships. 

 

French royal galley, XVII century 

 

This was the ship flying the flag of Royal France. Larger than the other galleys, measuring 52 meters in length to carry 34 oars per side. Armed with five guns and 12 artillery pieces under. Its capacity was 800 people. In these huge ships then the problems inherent in the existing system of using convicts to move the oars of the galley is acute. The galley had to make a superhuman effort, since those terrible oars to move, lift your body needed every bogada and then suddenly fall on the bench. 

 

Mediterranean Galleon, XVI century 

 

Comparing the galleon galley, we see that the galleon is larger in both area and quantity of wood. Additionally, you could end up having to place four sticks candles cross. These advances in sailing had taken place as a result of the increase in maritime traffic, in turn derived from the discovery of the West Indies and after the exploitation of the wealth of the Americas. The round stern was replaced by the block or square stern. These changes, according to some, and came from the Venetian coke. 

 

Dutch merchant ship, XVI century 

 

Galleon is a similar but smaller surface ship and that it need not bring artillery. Their territory was reduced to the waters surrounding the Channel and the North Sea. It reviews the progress made in this century sailing ships such as the distribution of candles in as many bats, which was no longer required to be so high, which gained in maneuverability are also distinguished. Candles were blocks, leaving only latina who was in the stern post. Besides the novelty of multiplying the square sails in the same suit was introduced. All this had an impact on a more docile ship. 

 

Nordic Galera, XVII century 

 

This type of Venetian galley exceeded in all its dimensions. Reached a length of 50 meters and a width of 9 meters. Had 27 oars on each side, but keep in mind that each five men needed to be handled. Its armament con-taba 6 guns. It could carry up to 500 people. The oars were about 12 meters, including 8 out abroad. The five rowers could row all to pull or push three. The rower was closer to the center aisle took the oar handle, the other by a handle fitted to the oar handle called. 

 

Venetian galleass, XVII century 

 

This galleass came to be the top model of its kind. Its length reached 70 meters with the bow and stern to high altitude. Three masts with Latin or triangular sails. It could carry 32 oars per side, needing 5 or 7 men each. As for carrying 36 guns plus six masons who were fire hydrants intended to throw balls of stone. One can imagine the horror that was felt on the inside of these vessels, which only eased for some when the time of battle, when some convicts were released by their loyalty. 

 

Dutch Fluyut, XVII century 

 

This was a very suitable for rapid movements specifically Dutch ship and its speed exceeded what was known in his time. Its size was smaller than that of the ship and could move up to 100 tons. Its length, about 35 meters, exceeded four times its width, something unusual in his time. It is distinguished by its rounded aft, which would place a small sculpture. The rig was simple with its three masts with square and triangular sails. Its low production contributed to his great success in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe. 

 

Dutch Yacht, XVII century 

 

In the field of small vessels where there was more development to over the centuries was in the category of river craft, which should take into account especially the shallowness of the water in some of the places where they had to move. But some of these vessels reached such perfection that led ships arising out of them suitable for the open sea, as in the case of the Dutch yacht, in the seventeenth century, with a single stick, was intended for pleasure or spanned reporting for warships, because their size allowed great speed. 

 

Venetian galleass, XVII century 

 

As in previous centuries, the galleass was considered as super-galley, where the seventeenth century was seen as very similar to the galleys that had evolved strongly ship. So a length not normally passed 50 meters wide and 9 meters deep 3'49 and maximum was 50 oars, each driven by 5 or 7 men. Instead superiority was a feature of the number of guns that reached 30. From keel to gunwale average 6'50 meters, which reminded the great Roman galleys. Galleass helmet was a mixture of styles. 

 

Dutch frigate, XVII century 

 

The frigate was part of the category of small vessels, which gave him the advantage to gain more speed, much higher, for example that of the galleons. Though he had previously been a rowing boat, in the early seventeenth century was created the frigate sailing, although it is not known with certainty who first used it, English silos or Flemish or Dutch. He had only ten to fifteen pieces of artillery placed on the deck of the ship, for exploration missions, which were those of these ships. 

 

Dutch pinnace, XVII century 

 

While fluyut was highly recommended for business travel great distances no vessel, when it came to and on the route between the Netherlands and the East Indies had major drawbacks. Therefore, following the line of fluyut in Holland the pinnace, larger and squarer lines was devised. So the impermeability of the ship made ​​sure that in the fluyut failed because its bent too overboard opened by the effect of strong tropical sun. The pinnace was used for trade and sometimes also for war. 

 

Galleot bomber, XVII century 

 

The galley is different from normal galley in some details, corresponding to its rather small size. He had only two sticks to place your candles. As for rowing number varied between 16 and 20 for each side and also as its measures were significantly lower than those of the galleys, each oar was run by a man. He had few pipe-tions and small. The bomber model, which originated in France, owed ​​its name to the fact that some had mounted mortars to fire pumps which in some cases could weigh more than 90 kilos. 

 

French ship 1st class, XVII century 

 

The word "vessel" in addition to used generically to mean a ship, as is often used here to define a certain type of large warship, which initially had 60 guns. In this case the French ship 1st class was armed with 100 cannons, spread over three decks, with its length of 50 meters and a capacity of 1,500 tons of tonnage. Compared with ships of earlier centuries, leveling the hull note, thanks to which the bow has been promoted, approaching the height of the stern, downloaded from the castles. 

 

Ottoman Ship 2nd class, XVII century 

 

In the Turkish fleet classification of ships was more rigorous, so this issue, despite having an armament of 80 guns, was no more than the second class. In it we can see that during the seventeenth century the great ships retained located at the stern which served for lateen ship evolutions. This worked well with sailing crosswind, tilting doing the bow toward the wind where it came from, but it was very cumbersome, air took away the mainsail and lateen yard great tangled with the rest of the rig. Many years would still not solve this problem. 

 

Brulote, XVII century 

 

As the root of its name ("bruler" burn in French) suggests, and called any ship or hull, which reached the state of destruction and which was loaded with materials inflamed to cause fires on enemy ships either throwing drifting over them, either by making sail her side when the sea was calm. The attacks prompted fire ships disappeared from the hulls of ships decorative objects, which had become very rich, but its structure retained contact with the fire ship, aggravating the fire. 

 

English ship 1st class, XVII century 

 

The flagship is the ship that bore the name "Royal Katherine" which had been built by Pett and launched 1664. Classification of ships was extended to mid-seventeenth century throughout Europe, but with some different nuances each nation. The ship illustration without any doubt belonged to the first class, and he was armed with 84 guns and from 70 were considered worthy of the first rank. Its structure was very similar to that of the French ships, perhaps more clearly appreciate the leveling between the stern and bow. 

 

French frigate galley, XVII century 

 

The frigate left increasingly differentiating galley, as the seventeenth century progressed. This transformation was probably initiated by the British, but by mid-century was already widespread in Europe, which is a sign that French frigate named "Charles" dumped the year 1676 and still retaining propulsion rowing also of which gave him a splendid set of candles. In fact come to be a miniature ship, with fifteen guns and displacing between 100 and 200 tons. This specimen was intended to combat pirates. 

 

Mediterranean trap, XVII century 

 

Really the vision of this small boat evokes the figure of a bird, Corresponding to the etymology of the name "tartano» Mas is in the kestrel, bird of prey common in Spain. It is a smaller ship, somewhat larger than a boat length of 12 meters. America has one candle and stick in the center, perpendicular to the keel. It is very often used for fishing and sailing Cargo, without straying too far from the coast. Less frequently it was also possible that some tartana act as privateer in the Mediterranean. 

 

French frigate, XVIII century 

 

Over time, the frigates were increasing in size, so that its growing capacity and weapons and so slowly replace the ships could lower classes. A mid eighteenth century had a length of about 40 meters, the number of guns reached 40, divided between battery cover and another placed on the upper deck. The copy of this illustration is the frigate "Murion" in which Napoleon embarked 1799 to start back to France even after your successful campaign for the distant land of Egypt. 

 

Russian Ship 3rd class, XVIII century 

 

This important ship was the flagship of the Russian fleet in the Baltic Sea in the late eighteenth century. In the Russian classification of ships, very strict so it follows, occupied range of third class despite being armed with 74 guns. Precisely this amount corresponded to ship cannon type of this century in Europe, although the Russians had built around 1736 a ship with 114 guns, but these huge ships gave more satisfaction problems in its operation and its high price limited cost the spread between the different fleets. 

 

Danish Urca, XVII century 

 

The hooker is one of the merchant ships copied forms of warships. Here is a typical example of Nordic ship, though where this name appears first in the Netherlands and is more than one type of vessel described a way to use as "armed in hooker" meant that he was armed with a few guns. This had a Danish hooker, suitable for the transport of grain and other genres, flat bottom with a 15 m. long. It also differed from the warships that the center of the deck had more width to gain capacity. 

 

Swedish galleon, XVIII century 

 

Although in substance the structure of previous centuries remained, over time the galleon was becoming larger and more fortified. One of the changes was the mizzen topsail which began placing at this time. Other developments in these galleons were the cebadera and storm; were two candles placed on the side of pit, the first square, beneath the bowsprit and the second at the end of this post, above it, attached to a small crow. Its function was to ensure the arrival of the ship. 

 

English frigate 4th class, XVIII century 

 

With 40 gun frigate that had great importance in the English fleet, whose number by the year 1785 almost equaled that of ships of the line: 146 frigates and 151 ships. His role was irreplaceable to make way for the squads and to fight against privateers or merchant vessels of the enemy. To distinguish them from the large vessels of the differences was that they always had to cover two or more batteries of cannons while the frigates had only a battery cover in addition to positioned on the upper deck. 

 

Tuscan Corvette 5th class, XVIII century 

 

As the ship grew in size, the mid-eighteenth century, it was given the name of the small corvette ship was called frigate hundred years earlier. It is the same trend as other boats had experienced in the history of sailing war, ie when a type of boat beyond recognition grew, reappear its original form with a different name. The Corvette became a small ship, with the same rig, but with a length of 20 meters and only 18 guns in the case of this Tuscan corvette. 

 

Media Genoese galley, XVIII century 

 

Despite the decline of the galley passed the seventeenth century, there were still a number of them in service, both in Venice and other Mediterranean fleets. The illustration called average galley, probably carry a significantly higher gear than normal galleys, named "Beatrice" candles, was used to fight the pirates; was 50 meters long and about 20 oars per side. To handle the oars used the same pirates and privateers who had been taken prisoner by the media galley on its monitoring. 

 

Xebec Spanish, XVIII century 

 

Among the larger fishing boats plying the waters of the Mediterranean jabeque model derived from own ship by pirates, with some resemblance to the stately barge was. The jabeque had three masts to carry lateen sails, but also used to row. Belonged to the genus "gondola" with the bow and pointed and more or less raised stern. Some examples of jabeque were armed for war with 20 guns, chasing pirates from Arab countries or privateers of the French coast. 

 

Genoese ship, XVIII century 

 

Large ships, vessels or boats also called line were spread during the eighteenth century in all national fleets that sailed the seas of Europe. This ship, originally from Genoa, where it was launched in 1716, was later recruited by the papal fleet under this flag and participated in the liberation of the island of Corfu in the hands of their enemies. Provided a composed 50 artillery guns, below the average amount of 74 guns later won something between the ships of its class, being now more into the eighteenth century. 

 

French galleass, XVIII century 

 

The galleass, like its little sister, the galley, in the eighteenth century was going into decline. This result can be deduced from the fact that the vessel had hardly evolved nor in the least since the seventeenth century, presenting exactly the same shape, and navigation, as in every production process, stagnation means regression. Proof of this is that in France the body of galleys was deleted by its rulers 1748 years later and the last copies of these ships were employed in transport of material, on the Mediterranean coast.

 

Dutch Cutter, XVIII century 

 

The cutter had only about 10 meters long and your rig consisted of a single stick, leading aft one gaff sail, mounted by a triangular small candle outrageous call when the weather permitted, to fill the space between the upper post and beak; if the weather was bad, was placed above the gaff sail a square, envergada, which came to be a third candle to reality. It was a derivative of the yacht, and it was designed based on the ship speed. In the bow, the stays took several approaches. All this getting a balanced and very stable ship. 

 

English frigate, XVIII century 

 

Mid-eighteenth century English frigate was growing in size up to 40 meters in length and an armament of 50 guns compound, divided into two or three bridges, without diminishing in speed. Most of these frigates were designed by the French model the Sane engineer, but improving it reinforced metal frames inside the helmet, according to the ideas of the English naval engineer Seppings. The growth of its size corresponded increased their rig, reaching a total score of 18 candles, including all varieties of the same. 

 

French corvette, XVIII century 

 

The famous corvette 'Astrolabe', a name which had replaced his former 'Coquille', in which the French scientist Louis Isidore Duperrey led a voyage of exploration that went around the world, being the ship commanded by the explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville. They left Toulon in August 1822 and arrived in Marseille back in April 1824, having collected plenty of data for studies of ocean currents, meteorology, natural history and magnetism. D'Urville, in the same corvette, discovered Adelie Land, in early 1840. 

 

Ship of the French East India Company, XVIII century 

 

This boat called "Duc de Duras" was part of the French merchant fleet, remain the property of the French East India Company, which, like their Dutch and English homonyms he put together much like large ships to warships; this on more than one occasion we reported confusion tragic consequences at sea. For this reason they look like warships, to dissolve the Company owns its fleet passed in part to the Royal Navy and this boat became the flagship of the famous privateer John Paul Jones, during the war of France against England 1778 to 1783. 

 

Danish corvette, XVIII century 

 

In the progressive incorporation of the corvette to the functions of the frigate fleet also participated Northern Europe and Denmark, which was part of the reproduced here called "Orlgosktovet" with weapons 10 guns. As happened the previous century frigate, the Corvette could be considered as a miniature ship of the line, although the shape of his helmet was different, with finer lines and more distinguished bearing, which it was in a more rapid and evoluci6n more marked capacity to assimilate the improvements that would occur with technical progress. 

 

British transport ship, XVIII century 

 

The illustration is the famous ship 'Bounty'. Under the command of Captain William Bligh set sail in December 1787 the port of Spithead to transport to the West Indies a load of breadfruit trees, which were loaded in Tahiti; Stay on that island took five months; there sailors took a very soft life. The contrast with the harshness of some friction on board and the crew led to the consummation of the mutiny; 20 officer Fletcher Christian took over in April 1789, leaving his faithful captain adrift in a longboat. Bligh was saved thanks to his expertise. 

 

British transport ship, XVIII century 

 

To devote to trade with India and the Orient, 1782 in England was launched the ship "Swallow" here reproduced. It can be seen the increasing development rig sails. Furthermore, the strength of the mast to the wind strength was reinforced, enlarging the lower part of the mast base that served the upper mast. The transport ships needed large warehouses to store your goods, rather than the strength of the bridges required by warships. However, except for the "East Indiamen" commercial ships then were quite weak. 

 

French lugger, XVIII century 

 

The lugger was a small ship with three masts equipped with bulky narrow bow and stern, with a length of about 20 meters. His three clubs were very inclined towards the stern side and the third carried candles, accompanied by bunions and topsails. Its shape was inspired by the Norman vessels. Its armament varied destinations each lugger; state belonging to the fleet, which among other functions exercised the Coast Guard, could be fitted with a maximum of 6 guns; instead the lugger privateers were smaller and had 2 guns. 

 

Pontifical Galera, XVIII century 

 

A mid-eighteenth century the galley was also disappearing from the Mediterranean that had been his favorite sea. Played one of his last pieces, a papal galley, which preferably sailing to sailing, even if it was equipped with oars. Already by years to go the long voyages between the galley rough water was not suitable, given its low height and very open to the force of the winds rig. Also needed a lot of crew, with all that this meant sourcing supplies. Therefore, the large vessel won the battle. 

 

Sardinian frigate, 1827 

 

The frigate was born in England in the early seventeenth century as a three-masted ship with square sails had evolved. The tiller had been replaced by the wheel; the rig is standing on the bow habíamodificado staysails, call the nearest storm mizzen and jib farthest. In the illustration frigate named "Beroldo" 1827 dumped by the Navy from the island of Sardinia, the excellence of its dimensions shown; could accommodate two or three bridges to place their canyons, of which "Beroldo" carrying 50 units. 

 

Mediterranean Polacra, XVIII century 

 

Small ship with three sails masts rigging blocks. More formerly was doti of lateen sails, taking it very inclined ratchet, a descendant of roman ARTIMON whose tip below the set lateen yard on a long bar. He spent time sailing in this post, called polacra lost lateen yard and was just as foremast. Later split into multiple approaches and different name polacra ships carrying lateen sail in the bow was given. This name was then given to a larger vessel with square sails on its two main approaches and sticks in the bow. 

 

French corvette, 1803 

 

Started since the nineteenth century was increasing armament of Corvette, from the 10 guns 20 or more units. The corvette illustration, named "Diligent" dumped 1803, had 20 cannons, but its peculiarity consisted hide the guns in battery invisible from outside. So the corvette approached more, but not matched, the size of large ships or ships of the line. Always the corvette had three masts, but with a very full sail rig, with their approaches and bunions. In transmitting the corvette squadron under Admiral. 

 

American Clipper, 1853 

 

Ship of large tonnage but fine structure suitable for fast and easy navigation. It is mainly used for trade between the West and the Far East. Its immediate predecessors were the "cllpers Virginia" and "Baltimore clippers." The hull shape recovered V characteristic of the Nordic boats, which helped them to travel over water and cutting it at an unusual speed in the large vessels of the time. The clipper illustration is the famous "Great Republic," one of those built in the United States during the golden age of these ships. 

 

 

Italian three-masted sailboat, 1865 

 

The rig consists of three masts appeared in the early sixteenth century and spawned many variations, combining the system itself square in the Nordic countries with the Mediterranean practice. This Italian three-masted sailing ship called "Cosmos" with 1718 tons of tonnage, was square type, ie carrying square sails on all masts and also a bergantina on ARTIMON. In between the masts appeared several staysails. The number of approaches ranging from three to five. The topsails were reinforced with bunions and royals to secure all the candles. 

 

English four-masted sailboat, 1887 

 

This is the four masts called "County of Linlithgow," launched in Glasgow. It is the type of four masts with square sails on all the sticks and also a bergantina the post called ARTIMON. There were other types: the "four masts-boat", with square sails in the first three suits and auric candle on ARTIMON (auric-candle candle trapezoidal) and (<four-masted schooner "with square sails on the stick auric and mizzen sails in the other suits. Some wore iron masts were released but when they fell by excess weight, so they had to improve. 

 

German four-masted schooner, 1900 

 

From the mid-nineteenth century was increased the size of the schooners to enhance your capacity to face transport of wheat, coal, wood, bricks, cotton, ... First came the three-masted schooners and then came to four masts, as illustration called Beethoven, with 2005 gross tons. Perfectly rig called auric note in which only the mizzen had square sails while other clubs were auric candles, perfect for sailing offshore, open to all winds forces routes rig. 

 

Clipper English, 1870 

 

Inspired by the U.S., but were more reduced and therefore faster, to move with a hull having a length width multiplied by six. They wore leather reinforcements, which remained even when years later the iron was used in its construction; The leather was of the metal below the line to protect the danger flotaci6n oxidation by water and algae. The clipper illustration is the "Torrens", a nonprofit dedicated to transport tea from China. 

 

German five-masted sailboat 

 

The most significant vessel is the "Potosí", a five-masted displacing 4,026 tons and was used until 1927. Between 1890 and 1912, appeared gigantic ships constructed of steel, made mainly in Germany and France. They were equipped with mechanical devices that helped them to sailors and ships that was almost as huge gruesome work to maneuver the sails. His crew was reduced to 50 men at most, which was a very small amount to move a big boat. With 1175 m. in length and 15'15 m. carrying wide especially nitrate. 

 

Italian four-masted sailboat, 1903 

 

As most significant representative of this type of ship have the "Regina Elena" and was launched in 1908, having a length of 95 meters and a capacity of 2,365 tons. It was the type "four-masted barque" with square sails on the first three-masted sailing auric needle in ARTIMON. It was a kind of great economic performance boat that was enough and a crew of 30 sailors. With this ratio could compete with the largest five or six ships masts, which, though they had much more presence and capacity, were very expensive to build, maintain and putting them in breadcrumbs. 

 

Brig-schooner (or Schooner) 

 

The brigantine merchant ship considered smaller, it becomes a genre with many classes. The brig-schooner (or Schooner) is characterized by carrying square sails only ratchet opal bow while the stern post leads to greater cross sails, gaff and scandalous. Like all the launches is provided with bowsprit, this thick, horizontal inclined stick something in the bow serves to secure the stays of the foremast and the approaches that are placed. On top of the mainmast carries a topsail and a bunion and stern spanker also called candle bergantina. 

 

Ship-schooner 

 

When the schooner had three masts with sails or trapezoidal auric and ratchet with square sails, ship schooner called. The candles were accompanied by auric staysails and two or three jibs. Many of these ships schooners fished from the mid eighteenth century. Schooner's name is rooted in the Breton word 'Golland, "which meant swallow the sea. These ships were arranging a fairly simple rig with a larger area and were very suitable for numerous little fishing crews, allowing them to pass to windward without having to perform difficult or dangerous maneuvers. 

 

schooner 

 

The schooner is a small boat with two masts rigging auric carrying candles. Pepa mast, planted about half the hull was higher and exceeded the aft mainsail. Its capacity was moving between 50 and 200 tons; thin, pointed shape. Although the British used similar in the early eighteenth century warehouses, the strong development of the schooner took place in the United States of America and from there returned to Northern Europe, after a century. At that time most ships sailing schooners were American shores. Then I grew to reach seven masts. 

 

Three-masted brig 

 

By the mid-nineteenth century it increased maritime merchant traffic and therefore greater tonnage built boats, which also to brigantines. To match the increased capacity was added to brig a third mast aft, which was coupled to one or other auric spanker sail or trapezoidal sails. He is sometimes called brig corvette corvette or simply because it differed little from it. Still now three-masted sailing brigs, among which stands out the training ship of the German Navy, the Gorch Fock II launched the year 11958. 

 

Brig (or Briok) 

 

The brig has two masts-brick blocks with candle, bowsprit and spanker sail on the bowsprit supports the pit several approaches. Its capacity of about three hundred tons of tonnage, maximum brigs also giving smaller capacity. Throughout the nineteenth century these vessels proliferated in large numbers, especially in the Mediterranean ports of Italy and its islands, mainly engaging in trade. Then they are painted on the sides of the false hull portholes or windows, in memory of past times when exercising the launches of pirate ships with weapons guns. 

 

Yacht for racing 

 

Although the yacht represented in the figure is small, under the same name given to vessels for recreational and competitive sailing the seas around the boats of all sizes, some large universe, using types vessels previously exercised merchant, as the schooner, the fletch, the dandy, etc. The modern yacht originated in Holland in the seventeenth century, but King Charles II Stuart introduced in England in the eighteenth century and the recreational navegaci6n became something typically English. In the nineteenth century the race became international sport.
