Windjammer

A windjammer is a commercial sailing ship with multiple masts that may be square rigged, or fore-and-aft rigged, or a combination of the two.

The Oxford English Dictionary records the word "windjamming" from 1886 and "windjammer" with reference to a ship from 1892.

[1] The term has evolved to include such a vessel, carrying passengers on overnight cruises in the Caribbean, the U.S. state of Maine and elsewhere.

[2][3] The word "windjammer" has a variety of associations, both nautical and not.

In the late 19th century the term was pejorative, as used by sailors aboard steamships.
