Notwithstanding all that has been said about the beauty
of a ship under full sail, there are very few who have ever seen a ship,
literally, under all her sail. A ship coming in or going out of port,
with her ordinary sails, and perhaps two or three studding-sails, is commonly
said to be under full sail; but a ship never has all her sail upon her,
except when she has a light,, steady breeze, very nearly, but not quite,
dead aft, and so regular that it can be trusted, and is likely to last
for some time. Then, with all her sails, light and heavy, and studding-sails,
on each side, alow and aloft, she is the most glorious moving object in
the world. Such a sight, very few, even some who have been at sea a good
deal, have ever beheld; for from the deck of your own vessel you cannot
see her, as you would a separate object. R.H. Dana, Two Years Before the Mast, p. 421 |
