A [[ship]] is the generic term for most comparatively large deepwater vessels.

A ship, or “'''full-rigged ship'''” (“full-rigger“), is also classified as a sailing vessel of three or more masts, all of which are fully '''square-rigged'''. As well, a [[gaff-rig]]ged [[spanker]] would normally be set on the mizzen ('''aft''') mast, and any number of '''fore-and-aft''' sails (usually '''staysails''') could fill the spaces between the masts and foremast and '''[bowsprit'''. (The larger [[clipper]] ships of the second half of the 19th century could set over an acre of canvas!)
