In it's nautical reference, this Americanismrefers toa sailing vessel with two or more masts.

It can also be a very tall glass for beer, or a glass for drinking sherry wine.

When used as "prairie schooner" it refers to a covered wagon (smaller than a Conestoga wagon), that was used by pioneers crossing the American continent in the 1800s.
