Through many old photographs and stirring true stories, an appreciation for the schooners, barkentines and other wind vessels and their crew is constructed. |
What I find so interesting is that all the ships Hind, Rolph had built, whether four masted Schooners of four masted Barkentines, they were all nearly identical. |
Some types such as barkentines and brigantines were introduced in the early 1800s, but were replaced by schooners, which could sail across the wind. |
