A tall ship refers to a vessel with a traditional (non-Bermudian) rig, whether old or a modern replica. The term designates both large sailing ships such as three square masts (galleons, frigates, ships, clippers, etc.), brigs and schooners which are the best-known representatives of large sizes, but also more modest boats (pointed , foresail, skiff...). Old rigging is often classified as heritage in many countries.
