tall ship
Square-rigged sailing vessel
A tall ship is a large sailing vessel with multiple masts and traditional square or fore-and-aft rigging, typically evoking the grand sailing ships of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The term encompasses various historic ship types including clippers, barques, and brigantines, now often used for maritime training, cultural events, and tourism.
The harbor was filled with tall ships for the festival.
Tall ships represent an era when wind power drove global trade and naval warfare.
