A caravel is a small, highly maneuverable, three-masted ship used by the Portuguese and Spanish for long voyages of exploration beginning in the 15th century. Although the carrack represented the state of the art in later medieval shipbuilding, there were purposes for which it was not appropriate. Initially carracks were used for exploration by the Spanish and Portuguese venturing out along the west African coast and into the Atlantic Ocean. But large, full-rigged ships could not always be sailed with the precision necessary fo ...

Some catboats such as the Barnegat Bay type and more modern catboat designs carry a Bermuda sail. A jib is so ...

A Cog is a plank-built, square rigged sailing ship with one mast. Cogs are most associated with seagoing trade in medieval Europe, particularly in the Baltic Sea region. The earliest development seems to have been Celtic, though the cog was first noted in the Dutch city of Muiden in the 10th century. The round ships with oars that were used for Mediterranean sailing were not useful in the rougher Atlantic waters. The maneuverable Viking Longships lacked cargo capacity and could not use their sails against the wind. Attaching a ...

The word barc appears to have come from Celtic languages so that the form adopted by English, perhaps from Irish, was bark while that adopted by French , perhaps from Gaulish, was barge.

Well before the 19th century a barge had become a small vessel of coastal or inland waters. Somewhat later, a bark became a sailing vessel of a distinctive rig as detailed below. In Britain, by the mid-nineteenth century, ...
