sailing ship
Wind-powered watercraft
A sailing ship is a large vessel propelled primarily by wind acting on sails—distinguished from smaller sailboats by size and from modern ships by its reliance on sail power rather than engines.
The term typically evokes the tall ships of earlier centuries: clipper ships, galleons, schooners.
Sailing ships dominated ocean commerce and naval warfare until steam power emerged in the nineteenth century.
