FORE-AND-AFT SCHOONER

Post by aukepalmhof » Thu Oct 26, 2017 7:06 pm

The stamp depict an unknown named three masted fore and aft schooner of the 19th century, the fore-mast set a fore-sail and a fore gaff topsail. The main mast a main sail and main gaff topsail. The mizen mast a mizen sail and a mizen-gaff-topsail.
The fore and aft schooner is still in use in the Pacific Ocean, and nowadays the rig is found on some tall ships which have all an auxiliary engine.
The largest fore-and-aft schooner was the THOMAS W LAWSON with 7 masts: http://www.shipstamps.co.uk/forum/viewt ... son#p15496
