And, at the risk of sounding arrogant, that is not a tall ship, it is a big container ship. What is typically referred to as a Tall Ship has cloth sails, masts and miles of ropes. Ray === |

Since you're being picky, I used to crew on a T10 sail boat and yes we did have a mast and sails but not a single rope. But we did have miles of "lines". :-) wizofwas |

![]() === From Answers.com A tall ship is a large traditionally rigged sailing vessel. Popular modern tall ship rigs include topsail schooners, brigantines, brigs and barques. Traditional rigging may include square rigs and gaff rigs, with separate topmasts and topsails. It is generally more complex than modern rigging, which utilizes newer materials such as aluminum and steel to construct taller, lightweight masts with fewer, more versatile sails. The term tall ship has come into widespread use in the mid-20th century with the advent of The Tall Ships' Races. While Sail Training International (STI) has extended the definition of tall ship for the purpose of its races to embrace any sailing vessel with more than 30 ft. (9.14 m) waterline length and on which at least half the people on board are aged 15 to 25, this definition can include many modern sailing yachts, so for the purposes of this article, tall ship will refer to those vessels rated as class "B" or above (Fore and aft rigged vessels between 100 to 160 feet in length, and all square rigged vessels). The well-known poem "Sea Fever" by the English Poet Laureate John Masefield contains the line "And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by", inspired by the poet's experience of serving in sailing ships during his youth.[1] === And talking of being picky, once aboard a sailing ship, you learn the "ropes" not the "lines". Cheers, Ray === |

Add "full rigged ships" to the common list.
The Brazilian vessel was a full-rigged-ship. HF On Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:52:59 -0500, "Ray S. & Nayda Katzaman" wrote: === From Answers.com A tall ship is a large traditionally rigged sailing vessel.
