Originally, a small, sharp-built vessel, with two masts and fore-and-aft rig. Sometimes it carried square topsails on one or both masts and was called a <i>topsail schooner</i>. About 1840, longer vessels with three masts, fore-and- aft rigged, came into use, and since that time vessels with four masts and even with six masts, so rigged, are built. Schooners with more than two masts are designated <i>three-masted schooners</i>, <i>four- masted schooners</i>, etc. See <i>Illustration</i> in Appendix.
