These multi-decked sailing ships were used as armed cargo carriers from the 16th to 18th centuries. They generally carried three or more masts, with square-rigged sail plans on their foremast and mainmast, with a lateen fore-and-aft rig on their rear masts. They were the mainstay of maritime commerce into the early 19th century.
