The Age of Sail is long over, but sailing ships still remain beautiful in their own way. The way the bow breaks over the waves and the ensign flying at the stern, it makes my heart melt.
Who else thinks that sailing ships are beautiful, even when compared to today's yachts? Last edited by CaptainRamius; 11-26-15 at 01:12 AM. |

Four brave British crews thought: "THIS is an Ugly sight": History's #1 Frigate (as per post 1's French frigate) and still shootn' and (rarely) under her own power! (winds over 5 mph or she won't move but under 15 mph she's too old for more)

I saw this nice looking sloop (it's a sloop of war I think) while I was in Conway, Wales back a few years ago. I also have a photo of a single decked two masted ship docked next to the HMS Belfast but it photo is quite bad.

Beautiful! but as the foremast is shorter (as also on a brig)than the mainmast AND there are two gaff rig masts What ya got there is a magnificent square rigged Schooner. At least two headsails to the bowsprit and possibly three.

Ah, I guess I got confussed between the differences of sloop and schooner. Really I don't know a lot about ships from the days of sail, speaking of I found this buried deep in my screenshot archives from a campaign I did in NTW.

A sloop rig has a single mast. If it has two masts and they're fore-and-aft rigged, then it's a schooner. If both masts are square rigged then it's a brig. If the foremast is square rigged and the after mast is fore-and-aft, then it's a brigantine. On the other hand a brig hull has the guns along the weather deck but also has raised fore and after castles. A sloop has all the guns on the weather deck and no raised decks. The vessel pictured would be described in an 18th century navy as a brig-rigged sloop. And yes, it's a sloop-of-war.
