Notes |
The term "barque", which was standarized in spelling and rigging configuration by the 19th century, referred to a vessel of three masts. The fore and main masts employed square rigging, while the mizzen mast used fore-and-aft rigging. The word was used in a far more general manner during the late 16th century. |
