*** About Sailing Vessels: Sailing vessels, often termed sailing ships or sailboats, have been crucial to exploration, trade, and warfare throughout history. These ships were powered by sails arranged on masts and were the dominant form of transportation across seas until the 19th century when steam engines became prevalent. Traditionally made from wood and later reinforced with steel, sailing ships are admired for their beauty and complexity. They played a pivotal role in the Age of Discovery, allowing explorers to traverse the globe and connect continents. Notable types include the schooner, brig, and full-rigged ship, each designed for specific sea conditions, speeds, and maneuverability.
