Tall Ship

       

       A tall ship is a type of traditional sailing ship which usually has very tall masts and large sails. Tall ships often have long decks, and some tall ships even have a crow’s nest. While the crew is busy hoisting the sails, climbing the masts, and scrubbing the decks, the captain is usually busy using the wheel to steer the ship. In the caseit starts to sink, many ships also have a lifeboat for the crew to escape in. If someone falls overboard the rest of the crew can call out, “Man overboard!”, and throw the person a life ring to save them. In the past, most people used a compass and a telescope to navigate tall ships, but today most people use GPS.
