This series starts with the full rigged three-masted ship, a faithful ocean-going vessel that was used to transport cargo and travelers from Canada all over the world in the 19th century. It was square rigged on all masts in order to coast downwind with the prevailing winds while its fore-and-aft sails enabled the ship to sail closer into the wind.
