Barquentine

A Barquentine is a tall ship, the one as Barkentine (formerly a Barquentine with Rahtopp the mainmast ), Hermaphroditic Bark ( hermaphroditic Bark; engl hermaphrodite barque or barquentine. ) Or more rarely called Barkschoner. It is a mixed rigging of Rah and Schratsegeln, ie, a mixed type of Bark and saver. The (front ) foremast must be fully rahgetakelt, the remaining towers carry saver or gaff sail. Around 1800 this Takelungsart was developed.

A modern representative of this type of ship is the Chilean sail training ship Esmeralda. She wears the foremast only square sails, on the other three masts gaff mainsail, gaff topsail and staysail ( triangular fore- ). Your sister shipyard Juan Sebastian de Elcano, the Spanish training ship, in contrast, is a four-masted topsail schooner. ( Three-mast ) Bramsegelschoner ( with lower mast and topgallant ) and ( three-masted ) - topsail schooner (also called topsail schooner, with lower mast, topgallant and topmast ) also represent Takelungsart and construction of the foremast always Saver variants represents, provided that a gaff sail is struck on the foremast ( all masts gaffsail ). Without gaff sail on the foremast, so pure Rahtakelung there, it's a Barquentine variant, eg with Großrahtopp and pure Rahtakelung foremast it would be a (three- pole ) Bramsegelschonerbark ( topgallant ) or ( three-mast ) Marssegelschonerbark (Mars and topgallant ). There were schooner barges with three, four ( the four-masted barquentines Mozart ( 1904) and Beethoven ( 1904) ), five ( the U.S. ships County of Vicksburgh, Marsala ) and even six masts. To the latter belonged to the Cidade do Porto (ex Viermastbark Hans) and the ER Sterling, originally as the cast iron four-masted full-rigged ship built in 1883 Lord Wolseley, later ( 1898) in a four-masted barque, after Entmastung (1903 ) umgeriggt to Sechsmastbarkentine. For them, the six towers were named as in the six- mast schooners:

• Foremast, mainmast, mizzen, Tanzermast, drivers mast, mizzen mast
• Foremast, mainmast, mizzenmast, jiggermast, driver mast, spankermast ( English name)

A special rigging had sailors square-rigged with two masts and two schratgetakelten ( the Downeaster Olympic, 1,420 grt, 1892 in Bath in Maine built ) or ( three-masted ) barquentines with Rahtopp the mainmast. This sailor type had virtually the front half of Riggs rahgetakelt, schratgetakelt the rear half of the masts. They called this Type of rigging Jackassbark; the sail training ship Niobe ex Tyholm ex Morton Jensen was a ( three-masted ) Jackassbark. A fünfmastiges ship of this type would have Fock and rahgetakelt main mast, the center pole gaffsail and Rahtop, the aft two masts with Schratsegeln. In the New England States called this sailing ship type and a gaff schooner, chasing a brig (a fore- and- aft schooner chasing a brig ).

Sometimes there is also the term for the Polkabark Jackassbark. Correct, however, a Polkabark is a three-masted schooner variant (Great gaff sail on all three masts ) with Rahtopp (usually three square sails ) on the two front towers, so usually a three-masted topsail schooner or Dreimastmarsbramsegelschoner. A three-masted topsail schooner Mars or Bramtoppsegelschoner has only yards at the foretop.
