Comments: View of the "Minoa", a replica of an ancient Cretan ship from the Minoan civilization based on figurative representations from the 15th century BC. The ship is on display in a shed at the Neorio Moro docks in the port of Chania , in Crete (Greece). View of the single mast and the sail, rectangular in shape, wider than high.

From Webster: SAIL, n. In navigation, a spread of canvas, or an assemblage of several breadths of canvas, [or some substitute for it,] sewed together with a double seam at the borders, and edged with a cord called the bolt-rope, to be extended on the masts or yards for receiving the impulse of wind by which a ship is driven.
