The History and Significance of Four-Masted Ships

A four-masted ship is a sailing vessel with four masts, meaning it has four vertical spars or poles that support sails. The masts are typically arranged in a square or quadrilateral configuration, with the forward mast being the tallest and the aft mast being the shortest. Four-masted ships were commonly used in the past for cargo transportation and passenger vessels, but they have largely been replaced by more modern designs.
