Actually, the Titanic was a schooner.

If you are thinking about her masts then you are mistaken.

A schooner is a fore and aft rigged ship carrying a smaller _sail_ on
the foremast and the main mast stepped nearly amidships or a vessel
with 3 or more sail carrying masts.



OK, then why don't you tell us all about the Titanic's sailing rig?


Sheesh. She didn't have a mast stepped near amidships Doug -that is
where the funnels were. Did you think she ever carried sail on those masts?
