tall ships
Square-rigged sailing vessels
Tall ships are large, traditionally rigged sailing vessels—typically square-rigged ships with multiple masts.
The term evokes the age of sail and applies especially to historic vessels or modern replicas used for training, tourism, and maritime festivals: The harbor filled with tall ships for the bicentennial celebration.
Tall ship races and gatherings draw crowds who want to see these grand vessels under full sail.
