<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 11044786, member: 3235"]Clipper ship and barque are very nearly the same... only a slight difference in rigging. Now as to the ships in the background - they appear to be single mast sloops or ketches which have fore/aft rigging not square rigged like the featured ship in the foreground. Schooners would have two or more masts, also fore/aft rigged. This is a classic schooner.... PS; near shore back in the day many smaller ships would be on the water <img src="https://images.boatsgroup.com/resize/1/82/43/8568243_20221024031040291_1_XLARGE.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
