Actually, the Titanic was a schooner.

AFAIK a schooner has two (or more) masts, with the foreward mast being shorter and/or having less sail area. ... Did you think she ever carried sail on those masts? From what I've read, no. However she was rigged for sail, carried sails on board, and was described on her registry as "schooner rigged." Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
