How did the large sailing ships navigate into harbors.?
Q. In the days of the old sailing ships, galleons clippers and other large vessels, which relied entirely on the wind; how did they navigate into ports and harbors.

A. Each port had a cadre of professional Pilots, familiar with the nuances of the location, who took over the command of ships as they sailed toward the harbor. They struck their sails, and employed large rowboats with gangs of rowers as "tugs" to help them navigate tight quarters.

How did raising/lowering sails and other sail adjustments work on old sailing ships?
Q. Working on a bit of writing and need to have at least a basic understanding of how the crew would lower/raise and do other adjustments to the sails of ships. The older type of ship the better. If you know and can type it in, that's cool, but if you can just point me to some websites, that'd be cool too.

A. On the old windjammers ( square rigged vessels such as the U.S. Constitution ) the sails are opened by untying the Reefing ties which bind the closed sail to the upper yardarm and ropes ( properly called cables but actually wound hemp rope ) pulling down are drawn tight and secured to belays or pins mounted along the rail of the ship. The sails are closed or Reefed by sailors who would actually climb out on the yardarm and pull the sails up by hand and tying them to the yardarm with the Reefing ties - the sails were made of heavy canvas and it would take 6 sailors to Reef each sail - frequently this was done because the wind was becoming too strong and unpredictable due to an approaching storm and it was necessary to reduce the amount of… [cont.]

Examples of sailing ships performing actual open ocean naval ambush?
Q. I am trying to study examples of actual naval ambushes conducted in open oceans (not seas) in the sailing ship era. Replies with URL links are appreciated. Thanks in advance. Thanks for reading and providing answers. It is important that two aspects are noted: 1) Open ocean only, any of the five. Straits, seas, inlets, rivers and harbours as a start of engagement are excluded; 2) Sailing ships in the context of pre-steam engines era. This does include Viking knorrs and any other ocean vessel that is primarily powered by sails.

How did ocean going sailing ships enter a navigable river and sail upstream against the current?
Q. I'm interested in the historical period around 1780. For instance how did ships get to New Orleans, up the Mississippi, from the Gulf.
Asked by James - Tue Apr 28 23:10:02 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. square riggers simply could not go upstream without a favorable wind. The technique was to wait for the tide and sail in as close as possible. In most harbors, ships would anchor outside the harbor and be serviced by smaller 'lighters' which were rowed or sailed back and forth to unload harbor. In some harbors, a ship might be manhandled into the inner harbor by men or animals pulling lines along a quay. Occassionally a ship might be pulled by crew rowing ships boats, but this was not feasible when a strong current was present.
