Barque

Barque, or Bark, any small ship, but especially a vessel, small or large, with three masts, the fore and main of which are rigged as in a ship, but the mizzen is rigged fore-and-aft. Colliers further apply the name generally to broad-sterned ships without figure-heads. The Bombay barque is a vessel navigable by paddles, but having a single mast which rakes forward and carries a long yard.
