barque, or bark in the USA, a vessel with at least three masts all
square rigged except for the
mizzen which is
fore-and-aft rigged. Until the mid-19th century barques were relatively small commercial sailing ships of up to about 500 tons. Later they were built up to about 3,000
GRT for the grain and nitrate trades. Finally four- and five-masted barques of over 5,000 GRT were built for this trade ranging up to the biggest sailing ship ever built,
France II, of 5,806 gross register
tonnage. Although obsolete as trading vessels, several of the larger barques are still in commission as
sail training ships, and new barque-rigged vessels have been built for this purpose. Several decommissioned barques have also been preserved in many countries as museum ships.
