square-rigger
A square-rigger is a type of sailing vessel characterized by its square-rigged sails. These sails are arranged at right angles, or 'square' to the mast and often have multiple yards (horizontal spars) attached. This design, most commonly used during the Age of Sail, is used for harnessing wind traveling from behind, and hence, these ships are best for downwind sailing. Famous square-riggers include galleons, brigantines, and the classic 'pirate ships' of the 16th and 17th centuries.
