That poster contains an interesting combination of old and new. The best example is the ketch, which in modern terms is fore-and-aft rigged. In the days of fighting sail a 'ketch' was almost always square rigged, and defined as having a main and a mizzen mast, and looking like a square-rigged ship without the foremast.

Not quite correct(on a 'gaff' rigged boat as posts 106 &114 demonstrate) but still lookin' GOOD! http://www.usps.org/national/fecom/faq/flag/gaffpole.html

^ this is .. an abomination, not a sailing ship. I swear it only swims because the water rejects it
And a question to Aktung, why is the »Golden Hind« on port tack, in the 3rd picture? In german it would currently run on "Steuerbord-Bug" (~"starboard bow, starboard is right, port or larboard is left ?), or does it state where the wind comes from, in english terminology?) And the »Bounty«, just wonderful.. Thanks for those pictures, nice

GOOD EYE! and I had caught that myself as it appears to be a 'quartering starboard tack-almost straight downwind- but with the wind still coming from the astern starboard quarter. So I looked at a lot of pictures of the 'hind' on the stern of the Golden Hind and it is in both directions; ergo I believe the negative was reversed so I went with the article's own caption quote. vsas opposed to the present version on the berthed vessel's stern in London?
