SHIP

Back to search

A sailing vessel (by contrast to Steamship) of considerable size and full-rigged, having square sails on all of three or more masts, by contrast with a Barque, which only has fore-and-aft sails on the mizzen. Most large warships of the classic (Nelsonian) period fall within this category.
