	Barque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She happened to be a ship-rigged sailing vessel with a plain bluff bow and a full stern with windows.
		By the end of the 18th century, however, the term barque (sometimes, particularly in the USA, spelled bark) came to refer to any vessel with a particular type of rig.
		A well-preserved example of a commercial barque is Falls of Clyde; built in 1878, it is now preserved as a museum ship in Honolulu.

	The “ENGLANDS GLORY” 1881, Barque
		Disaster finally overtook the barque England’s Glory at the end of a long and eventful passage lasting six months when, on November 7, 1881, she was totally wrecked near the entrance to Bluff Harbour.
		The barque sailed from London To Bluff, via Nelson, with a general cargo, the principal part of which was iron rails, and had a fair passage until the Cape of Good Hope, when she encountered heavy weather.
		The court found that the casualty was caused by an error of judgement on the part of the master in altering the ship’s course in order to pick up the pilot boat, and thus bringing her too close inshore and within the influence of the eddies with her head inshore.

	NOVA Online \| Mysteries of the Nile \| March 6, 1999: The Solar Barque
		The world's oldest boat of such size and sophistication, the barque was first built in the 26th century B.C. It was built a second time in the 20th century A.D., when workmen reconstructed it under the guidance of Hag Ahmed.
		We did so because, as Mark Lehner noted, "it represents an outstanding example of the thinking about complex construction in that period." It set the stage for later obelisk barges, like the one pictured in relief that we'll visit at Hatshepsut's temple in Luxor, not to mention other feats of engineering skill.
		The Solar Barque, in short, is one crumb on the trail of the obelisk-makers.

		There has been a barque in sight all day steering Southeast half a point more to the Southward than ourselves; we have gained upon her a little, and are now making 9 knots; the Captain says if we had an 100 tons more in the hold, we should be making 10.
