Sigyn
"The three-masted bargue Sigyn is the last wooden three-masted sail powered trading vessel in the world." (Forum Marinum)
This is one of the beauties located just a small walking distance from our apartment. Actually I often go for evening coffee to the nearby coffee house.
A brief lecture about bargues:
A bargue is has 3-5 masts, the aftermost of which contains fore-and-aft sails, while all the other masts contain square sails perpendicular to the keel. Having said that, a bargue is distinguished from fully rigged vessels* from the last mast.
*Fully rigged sailboats have only square sails
You can see the whole beauty here.
