sailing ships
Canvas-powered ocean craft
Sailing ships are vessels propelled primarily by wind acting on sails—the dominant form of long-distance water transport for millennia before steam power.
The term typically evokes large, multi-masted wooden ships of the age of exploration and maritime trade: galleons, clippers, schooners.
The harbor was crowded with sailing ships from a dozen nations.
Modern sailing ships are mostly recreational or training vessels.
