The term "schooner" originally comes from the Netherlands, where it referred to a type of ship called a "schoener." The design became popular in the 18th century, particularly in New England, where it was adapted for use in trade and fishing. Today, schooners are recognized as a distinct type of sailing vessel with two or more masts, characterized by their fore-and-aft rigging.
