He set sail in 1895, and returned more than 3 years later in 1898.

Schooners were initially used as fishing vessels starting around the 16th century. They were used for hundreds of years until being mostly replaced by steam powered engines.

The Arabella was the ship that brought Puritans to Salem.

A brig is one type of two-masted sailing vessel. More specifically, a brig is a vessel with two square-rigged masts. This means that the two masts have square sails, as opposed to a vessel that is bermuda-rigged (triangle-shaped sails).

There are other types of two-masted sailing vessels:

Brigantine

Brig or Brig-schooner

Ketch

Koch (type not based on rigging)

Schooner

Yawl.

Of these, the ketch, schooner, and yawl still remain somewhat popular today.

The first civilization that invented the sailboat was the Sumerians.

Many societies in prehistoric times built sailboats, from the Chinese, Japanese, and Polynesian islands to the Egyptians and Phoenicians. The development was most notable in the Mediterranean Sea, and the waters around SE Asia. By the time of the European explorers of the 14th and 15th century, sailboats had become ocean-going ships. These ships, which visited nearly all the regions of the world, had an influence on the world's global cultures from that point on.

Sails catch the wind which propels the boat forward

2nd Answereer says:

Previous answerer has been tricked by a trick question:

IN REALITY the wind foils around the the sail and PULLS the boat forward. A sail is nothing more than a vertical wing, providing LIFT. Should you ever have the pleasure to experience a strong puff of wind startling your becalmed craft, you will FEEL the LIFT that is provided. It's a physics thing (Aerodynamics).

3rd Answerer says:

Actually, its a bit of both!

When sailing "with the wind" (i.e. wind coming from straight behind the boat and hitting the sail pretty well square on) the push on the sail is transferred to the mast and boat. There's obviously a little bit of "less air pressure behind the sail" as a result, so there is some kind of "pull" going on too, but not much like this. (Air is too "runny" and will not let a significant area of low pressure form at lower speeds.)

But a triangular sailed boat is pretty clever really because you don't have to sail with the wind mostly behind you - you can sail "across" the wind, and depending on the design of the sail and boat combined can get pretty close up to the point where you start to sail into the wind. Some of this force is just from the "push" from the wind on the sail, and the structure of the boom/mast transfers the push onto the frame of the boat again. But the clever bit is that the shape of the sail does indeed then form a "wing" too, just like you get on an aeroplane, and the air hitting the sail supports the shape. Air flowing around the "front" of it then moves faster than behind it so you get a lower pressure forming in front which in turn "lifts" the boat forward. (Easier to draw than put in words!)

If you sail ("point up") too close the the direction the wind is coming from the sail will start to "luff" as air starts to come around the front of the sail, and pushes the front of it nearest the mast in the other way, spoiling the shape of the aerofoil wing and as a result the speed then drops off pretty sharply!

I first heard this phrase from an ex-signalman sailor from WW1.

Used when a tea trolley was being pushed across the hospital ward, I took it to mean 'If you stay right there you'll be run down'.

Checking with a petty officer R.N. he agreed this was one useage but didn't say what the others were.

Sloop, cutter, or possibly day-sailer.

...is to 'circumnavigate'.

Gil Eanes was the first person to sail beyond Cape Bojador.

The advantages was Portuguese ships began making expedition in search of a sea route to Asia. The disadvantages of sailing west from Europe to Asia is they had no maps that showed the world correctly. Christopher Columbus did

Sorry, please re-phrase the question....

The line at the lower part of the hull is the water line. Its location shows if a ship is riding high in the water or if it can't be seen then a ship is riding low in the water.

It's lift. Like an airplane wing, a sail is an airfoil only vertical. As it passes through the air, the curved shape of the sail causes the air on the outside of the sail to go further and therefore, faster, than the air on the inside of the sail. According to Bernoulli's Principle, when the airflow increases, the pressure drops so the pressure on the underside of the airfoil becomes greater and "lifts" or pushes the sailboat along. See the link below for more information on Bernoulli's Principle.

Some recent innovations in sailing are the use of carbon fibre in sailboat constuction. Another innvation was putting roach in mainsails. Another innovation was the use of hydrofoils.

Sharp mind, eyes, and quick reflexes will help you to board passengers, embark on voyages, tend ropes, lines, sails, and/or motor(s), clear the decks, swab the decks, stow anything properly where everyone can find it, deliver messages to/from anyone else on board, follow Captain's orders (to the letter, preferably) watch for other vessels or sailing dangers (there are many), listen and relay radio messages, paint the boat/ship while it is moving, dock the craft & disembark passengers. Smile. Direct further questions to the Captain.
