They are essentially the same thing a covered type of wagon useful on the Western frontier. Prairie schooner was a colloquial term, Conestoga was a trade name for wagons. This is also the origin of the term Stogie for a cigar, the Conestoga also being a brand of cigars and having a(Chuck wagon) trade mark. one should distinguish between covered wagons in general- and Praire schooner implies a speed wagon, and Chuck Wagons (chuck being a cowboy term for food) which wee and are specifically commissary-oriented, and a must at the larger ranches. Conestoga type wagons and many other horse-drawn vehicles were made after l850 by an outfit in South Bend , Indiana known as Studebaker. this explains the wagon Wheel trademark a literal throwback to (Horse and Buggy). Studebaker supplied double-truck sleighs (big as trucks) to the Imperial Russian govt (presumably the Army and Police may have grabbed them up) in World war I/ some may well have been, err, shaklkl we say Ivan Wagons for the N.K.V.D.

What is the relationship between Conestoga and stogie?
The term "stogie" is derived from "Conestoga," referring to the Conestoga wagons used in the 18th and 19th centuries to transport goods. These wagons were commonly associated with long journeys, during which travelers would roll their cigars in the ends of their wagons to keep them dry, leading to the nickname "stogie." Thus, the relationship between Conestoga and stogie lies in the historical context of cigar rolling and transportation practices of that era.
What is the difference between a clipper ship and a schooner?
A clipper and a schooner were of different sizes and had different style rigging. The terms schooner and clipper represent two different ways to describe a sailing vessel. The word 'schooner' refers to the way a vessel's masts and sails are set up. A schooner is a vessel with at least two masts (some Great Lakes schooners had up to seven) and the foremast is usually smaller or sometimes the same size as the main mast. The schooner's sails are primarily rigged fore'n'aft though some schooners may have square sails rigged on the foremast as well, or they may have square tops'ls on the fore or both masts. The term 'ship' refers to a saling vessel that has at least 3 masts and has square sails rigged on all 3 masts. The term 'clipper' refers to a vessel that has been designed specifically for speed and usually for a particular purpose or trade. Most well known are the tea clippers that raced between China and England transporting tea, but there were also wool clippers, opium clippers and nitrate clippers. These were usually ships or sometimes barques ( a barque is a vessel with at least 3 masts and is square rigged except for the rearmost mast which is fore'n'aft rigged. There was also the Baltimore clipper, famous for it's use as a blockade runner, privateer and slaver, which was actually a schhooner.

What's the difference between a schooner and other boats?
A Schooner is a multi-masted sailing vessel as contrasted with a Sloop or Catboat which has one mast. A Schooner has a Foremast in front of the Mainmast that is shorter (or the same height) as the Mainmast. A Ketch has a Mizzenmast that is shorter than the Mainmast aft of the main but in front of the rudder post. A Yawl has a small Mizzenmast aft of the rudder post. Some Schooners have Mizzenmasts also. The principal difference between a schooner and other multi-masted sailing vessels is the fact that the sails of a schooner are primarily fore-and-aft rigged, meaning the sails are parallel to the body of the vessel; other multi-masted sailing vessels are primarily square-rigged, meaning they have sails that are principally positioned perpendicular to the body of the vessel. The difference lies in their uses: a fore-and-aft rigged vessel is most valuable in the coasting trade where it plies coastal waters up and down a shoreline. Square-rigged vessels are more useful for trans-oceanic voyages, and generally require a larger crew than fore-and-aft rigged vessels.
