A sailing ship with from three to five masts, all of them square-rigged except the after mast, which is fore-and-aft rigged; a small vessel that is propelled by oars or sails.
A fast yacht-like ship with three sails and a square rig.
A ship that has been gutted, but remains afloat. Vessels were often "hulked" to turn them into a hulk so they may be repurposed from their original employ. Hulks were too old for battle so the British Royal Navy made it common practice to turn hulks into floating prisons, known as prison hulks, which they used to capture and hold pirates and privateers. here
The brig is the ship’s jail. It’s located in the belly of the ship, which is smelly, dank, and often inhabited by rats. Nearby is a pump used to clear the bilge water, which is the foul water that collects below the water line. The bilge water has to be periodically bailed or pumped to keep it from accumulating and sinking the ship. Pumping the bilge is one of the worst duties on board ship. more
A replica of the ship was used in several of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, standing in for Jack Sparrow’s Black Pearl and other ships as well. Today the replica is permanently docked in Kolopei, Hawaii. More photos of the replica can be found here.
In the year 1717, during the Golden Age of Piracy, one of the most notorious pirate captains ever known was Blackbeard (whose real name was Edward Teach). Blackbeard captured a French slave ship off the coast of Martinique and made it his flagship, renaming it the Queen Anne’s Revenge. [links]
Abovedecks, the rigging are the many lines and ropes that anchor the ship’s sails and control their movement. Ratlines are used to climb to the crow’s nest, which is a lookout point near the topmost part of the mast. [links]
