Two-masted schooner

Ravensburger (1984) 

 A schooner (/ˈsknər/ SKOO-nər) is a type of sailing vessel defined by its fore-and-aft rig on all of two or more masts and the foremast generally being shorter than the mainmast. The most common variants are gaff-rigged and staysail schooners.

 The term "schooner" first appeared in eastern North America in the early 1700s. The term may be related to a Scots word meaning to skip over water, or to skip stones.
