Yachts trade the we g- rate: transport market Andis.
Long-haul were large ships capable of facing any kind of time (usually because many of them were lost).
The "kings" of these long-haul flights were Cape Horners , so named because they faced the hardest course in the world, Cape Horn. They made great sailing around the world, from Europe or eastern North America, following the prevailing winds in the Southern Hemisphere, so from west to east. They traded with Australia, to transport wheat or west coast of South America: Chile and Peru, they brought nitrates for weapons (explosives) and agriculture (fertilizer). Some went to California, where their crews abandoned them (Oh, the gold fever!). All
Cape Horners do not follow the prevailing winds in the direction favorable to some, especially those who were on the west coast of America, dared to face the Cape Horn in the wrong direction. With any luck it happened, but some boats have weeks to go from the Atlantic in the Pacific ...
crews longhaul were generally excellent marine vessel capable of carrying them quickly and in small numbers. But it happened that the owners are struggling to find skilled and well trained crews, especially during the gold rush. They then recruited anyone with questionable methods. Removed dead drunk in taverns, these poor people (sometimes thugs) called sha Ngaï és found themselves on board without knowing anything about the complex workings of a tall ship: They should then be controlled by methods more or less questionable, the captain being "master on board after God."
But when the crew was good, these ships were successful performances that have been exceeded only by ships of modern racing past 40 years. Honor those runners off: even if they are not carrying anything, they sail in the same spirit as the sailors of the 19th and 20th century, the goal is always to go as quickly as possible, while reducing the boat in good condition. Because there is no point to go faster if it is to be wrecked ...
The Cape Horners were often four e-masted . The Sedov (former VINNEN Magdalene) and the Kruzenshtern (former Padua) are good examples, which were still sailing.
Some were three-masted, square or boats, none is more seaworthy.
All these vessels were between 80 m and 110 m in length.
Other long-haul fetched wool in Australia or the tea in China and Japan: lightweight materials and value, carried by the three-masted faster than 50 m to 80 m. the Clippers. Cutty Sark - is a good example, preserved as a museum in London. Stad Amsterdam Cisne Branco and are superb replica clipper ships, built in Holland. Another rejoinder Paulista, was almost built at Douarnenez but the project failed for lack of money.
Smaller freighters were generally transatlantic . One of the finest examples is still sailing Belem, described as Caribbean as it traded with the West Indies, but he was also in Brazil.
note that these vessels were preceded, the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, by exploration vessels, which were heavily armed, were seen the dangers they may encounter: Marine enemy privateers, pirates, etc. ... Replicas of these boats were built: the caravels of Christopher Columbus, The Matthew Johan Cabot, the galleon Golden Hinde , the 'Endeavour James Cook, or the Bounty .
Once explored parts of the world were connected to Europe by commercial lines more or less regular basis: this was the case of North America and Far East, with several "Indian companies" (Dutch and French in particular). the Batavia and Amsterdam are d e beautiful replicas of vessels company Dutch Indies (VO C) of 17 th and 18 th century. The Prins Willim was another and it was destroyed by fire in 2009. The Zeven Provincien is under construction Lelystad.
It was at the same time powerful warships because their cargoes attracted much envy and they participated in the wars of colonization. Their enemies were not only the peoples who were defending their independence, but also all the Western countries eager for conquest. Between Dutch, English, French, English, Portuguese, fighting was fierce and frequent wars! not forget the inevitable hackers, for whom the heavy galleons and ships were easy prey if they were not sufficiently armed.
The long-haul were replaced by cargo ships to steam reciprocating engines and steam turbine and diesel. First, in the late 19th century, low self-fuel (coal) and freshwater fumes made it even competitive sailing. the boats were even significantly faster in the breeze, but obviously they were disabled in the calm, especially in anticyclones (Azores, St. Helena) and the pot-au-black. And then, the autonomy of motorized boats, low cost labor (no need topmen) and rigging (no need for running rigging, very sensitive to wear; rigging reduced or zero) have made less attractive yachts for owners, less and less profitable.
The size and complexity of long-haul made them difficult to convert them back to motorized vessels, moreover, their thin forms gave them a capacity much lower than the vapors chubby: tall ships have so completely disappeared, with the except those who were lucky enough to be converted into sailing school.
