lo and behold! up pops Maltese Falcon, which is a square rigged ship, i.e.,

very retro and also very fast.
I think it was clipper ship Flying Cloud that did more than 400 miles
in 24 hours. I call that fast. Only thing wrong with a square rig is
that they don't go to windward all that well.

I think that most of the commercial ships, like Flying Cloud, sailed
primarily downwind nearly all the time. Out east in one season and
back home the next. I even had a chart of power and sailing routes
with the routes marked by seasons.
