Boats showed

  • Goleta or Schooner: Traditionally, this boat had two masts, a foremast and a mainmast; its sails were jibs, fore-and-aft sails, and gaff topsails. The forerunners of the "goleta" were the West Indian "balahu" and the North American schooner. It was used for cabotage, transporting merchandise. It could be up to 40 m long, have a beam of up to 8 m, and a depth of hold of 2.50 m. It had a cargo capacity of 200 tons.
