Pilgrim Sailing

<p data-start="264" data-end="863">Sail ships, Tall ships, and Clippers are various types of ships powered by sail. The graceful Tall ship has large masts and square sails. Tall ships require extensive rigging to lift the sails into position to catch the wind. As a result, considerable skill is required to sail a Tall ship. These majestic vessels were used for long sea voyages, naval warfare, and early exploration. Today, many original ships have been restored and are displayed around the world. In addition, there are Tall ship cruises and training trips available, including sail training programs for people with disabilities. There are many forms of sail ships similar to Tall ships. A sail ship may have one or several masts, with variations of sails depending on speed and wind direction. Ships may sail into the wind or use full sails to increase speed.</p>
<p data-start="264" data-end="863">The craftsmanship involved in designing and building these vessels was an art form. From the carved hull to dressed windows and sculptured nautical figureheads, great detail was applied. Figureheads were normally mounted at the bow, the most forward part of the ship. Many early sail ships built between the 15th and 20th centuries featured decorative figureheads. The purpose of figureheads ranged from vessel identification to symbolising status, wealth, and naval power. Vikings, for example, used more intimidating figureheads on their vessels.</p>
<p data-start="1646" data-end="1878">Clipper ships are also sail-driven vessels with a three-mast configuration. However, the clipper ship was designed primarily for speed rather than cargo capacity. These vessels were common in the Americas during the 1840s and 1850s.</p>
