''Sagres'']] (Portuguese Navy).]] [[File:ARA Libertad 1998.jpg|thumb|[[ARA Libertad (Q-2)|ARA ''Libertad'']] (Argentine Navy)]] A '''tall ship''' is a large traditionally [[rigging|rigged]] sailing vessel. Popular modern tall ship rigs include topsail [[schooner]]s, [[brigantine]]s, [[brig]]s and [[barque]]s. ==History== Traditional rigging may include [[square rig]]s and [[gaff rig]]s, with separate [[Mast (sailing)|topmasts]] and [[topsail]]s. It is generally more complex than modern rigging, which utilizes newer materials such as [[aluminum]] and [[steel]] to construct taller, lightweight masts with fewer, more versatile sails. Most smaller, modern vessels use [[Bermuda rig]]. Though it did not become popular elsewhere until the twentieth century, this rig was developed in [[Bermuda]] in the seventeenth century, and had historically been used on its small ships, the [[Bermuda sloop]]s. The term ''tall ship'' came into widespread use in the mid-20th century with the advent of [[The Tall Ships' Races]], and was not generally used in the era when such ships were the norm. The term's popularity may have stemmed from its use in a well-known nautical poem by English [[Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom|Poet Laureate]] [[John Masefield]] entitled ''Sea Fever'', first published in 1900. While [[Sail Training International]] (STI) has extended the definition of ''tall ship'' for the purpose of its races to embrace any sailing vessel with more than 30&nbsp;[[Foot (length)|ft.]] (9.14&nbsp;m) waterline length and on which at least half the people on board are aged 15 to 25, this definition can include many modern sailing yachts, so for the purposes of this article, tall ship will refer to those vessels rated as class "A" only. ==International Sail Training Association, Class A Tall Ships== In alphabetical order (sortable). International Sail Training Association classifies its A Class as "all square-rigged vessels and all other vessels over {{convert|40|m|ft|0}} [[length overall]] (LOA)". By LOA they mean length excluding [[bowsprit]] and aft [[spar]]. <ref> {{Citation | first = celtic | last = | author-link = | first2 = | last2 = | author2-link = | editor-last = | editor-first = | editor2-last = | editor2-first = | contribution = | contribution-url = | title = Racing & Sailing Rules and Special Regulations | year = 2008 edition | page = 2 | place = | publisher = Sail Training International | url = http://www.sailtraininginternational.org/uploads/images/1233149882328_0.6089951864523053.pdf | doi = | id = }} </ref> Also see [[list of tall ships]] for other tall ships, or [[List of large sailing vessels]] for a list that includes other sailing vessel types. {| border="1" class="sortable wikitable" |+ Class A Tall Ships |- !
