Source Description
Governor Ames: This is an American five-masted schooner, now a rare type of vessel, one of only a few functional schooners remaining. / Gertrude L. Thebaud: A modem American fisherman-style boat, the Gertrude L. Thebaud was a two-masted schooner built for sturdiness and swiftness that can be manned by a very small crew. / The Last American Square-Rigger Tusitala: Tusitala is the last of the square-rigged vessels to fly the stars and stripes. The few large square-rigged four-masters still afloat are for the most part descended from the fourth-century Viking ships.
