A barque is a type of sailing vessel characterized by its three or more masts, with the foremast rigged with square sails and the after masts typically rigged with fore-and-aft sails. This rigging allows for greater maneuverability and efficiency in various wind conditions. Barques were commonly used in the 19th century for both cargo transport and naval purposes, and their design evolved to accommodate advancements in sailing technology. Today, barques are often used in educational settings, maritime museums, and as tall ships for sailing experiences.
