Tartane

A tartane (also tartan, tartana) was a small ship used both as a fishing ship and for coastal trading in the Mediterranean.

They were in use for over 300 years until the late 19th century.

A tartane had a single mast on which was rigged a large lateen sail, and with a bowsprit and fore-sail.

When the wind was aft a square sail was generally hoisted like a cross jack.
