A large decked sailing vessel having three or more masts, with square sails on all but the mizzen, which was fore-and-aft rigged. Vessels of this type and of steel construction were the norm in ocean trading in the latter days of sail. Most of the Cape Horners, windjammers and clipper ships fall within this category.
