Talk:Carrack

message: I think that the 1628 painting at the head of the article is really depicting a galleon, rather than a carrack - the artist is showing a ship of his own time rather than the Santa Maria.
I will see if I can get hold of a public-domain picture that better illustrates the features of a carrack. --Ndaisley 06:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: It is not clear that the illustration from the map of Ortelius depicts a carrack, specifically the distinction between the sails of the main and mizzen is not clearly defined. The features of the sail configuration of a carrack is clearly seen the 19th century depiction by G. A. Closs  which I use as a replacement.Ekem (talk) 14:37, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Carrack's are distinguished more by their hull than their rigging.  The original illustration was correct, and very clearly depicts the salient characteristics of a carrack.  I am replacing the image.  Fell Gleamingtalk 01:03, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

message: It's extremely unlikely that this ship, supposedly built in the 1840s, was a carrack.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.127.139 (talk) 22:32, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, sorry about these two, but i'm not still convinced about Santa Maria to be a carrack. Have you got any chance to cite a scientific article? Because unfortunately I couldn't find one about this subject.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ugurcanece (talk • contribs) 12:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  How Fast? 

message: It says that A typical three-masted carrack such as the São Gabriel had six sails: bowsprit, foresail, mizzen, spritsail, and two topsails.
But I had looked up bowsprit in wikipedia, it showed that bowsprit is a sprit, not a sail. Ok, maybe I can understand it as a headsail. However, why carrack doesn't have a mainsail? Shouldn't it be that "a typical carrack has the above 6 sails + 1 mainsail"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qijiang ok (talk • contribs) 17:46, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
