	Brig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sailing, a brig is a vessel with two masts at least one of which is square rigged.
		In modern parlance, a brig is square rigged on both masts, and this is the standard name for such a vessel.
		Previously, "brig" has been used as an abbreviation of "brigantine", which in modern parlance is the standard name for a principally fore-and-aft two-masted rig with a square rigged foremast but which also has other historical meanings.

	Hermaphrodite brig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hermaphrodite brig, or brig-schooner, is a type of two-masted sailing ship which has square sails on the foremast combined with a schooner rig on the mainmast (triangular topsail over a gaff mainsail).
		As such it has a mix of the two main types of sail plan, hence the term hermaphrodite.
		Another explanation given by Antony 'Tiger' Timbs, owner of a brigantine, is, that the correct term for a two-masted vessel with square sails on foremast and fore-and-aft-sails on main mast is anyway 'hermaphrodite brigantine'.

		BRIG [brig] two-masted sailing vessel, square-rigged on both masts.
		Brigs have been used as cargo ships and also, in the past, as small warships carrying about 10 guns.
		A hermaphrodite brig is identical with the brigantine except that it carries no topsail on its mainmast; most U.S. brigs since 1860 have actually been of this type.

		She passed out of hail, but we made her out to be an hermaphrodite brig, with Brazilian colors in her main rigging.
		We went to work immediately, and put all the canvas upon the brig which we could get upon her, rigging out oars for studding-sail yards; and continued wetting down the sails by buckets of water whipped up to the mast-head, until about nine o’clock, when there came on a drizzling rain.
		The wind was light, and we spread more canvas than she did, having royals and sky-sails fore and aft, and ten studding-sails; while she, being an hermaphrodite brig, had only a gaff top-sail, aft.

		The 216-ton brig Helen A. Holmes, built in 1874 by Spencer Drew, master carpenter, with Edward Holmes as owner, was the last large commerical vessel built at The Landing.
		She was rigged as a hermaphrodite brig, a rig that Henry Jones in "Ships of Kingston" said took the place of the brigantine and full-rigged brig.

		However, the affair was treated lightly, and on the 3rd of March the Epervier, without a man of her crew being changed, sailed, in company with the Shelbourne schooner, for the "protection" of a small convoy bound to Bermuda and the West Indies.
		No answer being returned to the brig's signals, the English ensign and pendant which the Peacock hoisted did not remove the suspicions of her being an enemy; and accordingly the Epervier made the signal to that effect to her convoy.
		Having by this time shot away the brig's main topmast, and rendered her completely unmanageable, the Peacock directed the whole of her fire at her opponents hull, and presently reduced the Epervier's three waist guns to the disabled state of the others.

		The former, the crew said must be the Pilgrim; but I had been too long in the Pilgrim to be mistaken in her, and I was right in differing from them; for, upon nearer approach, her long, low shear, sharp bows, and raking masts, told quite another story.

		A full-rigged brig is square-rigged at both her masts.
		The brigantine must not, however, have a main course, because then it is called a brig and does not belong to the family of schooners since its main sail is not a fore-and-aft sail.
		She differs from a hermaphrodite brig in that she is not properly square-rigged at her foremast, having no top, and carrying a fore-and-aft foresaill instead of a square foresail and a spencer.

		On board some vessels this is made a day of instruction and of religious exercises; but we had a crew of swearers, from the captain to the smallest boy; and a day of rest and of something like quiet, social enjoyment, was all that we could expect.
		At two, P.M., we again kept off before the wind, leaving the land on our quarter, and at sundown, it was out of sight.
