tall ship

This tall ship was commanded by Captain Thomas Fleming, who had been stationed on the look-out to the eastward.

"A tall ship" meant a stout and sea-worthy ship; "a tall man," meant a man that was at once able-bodied and true-hearted.

A line of broken water traced the dangerous bar, which in clear day and balmy weather has cracked the back of many a tall ship.

At length a tall ship was seen sailing up the harbour with gay flags flying from the mastheads.

Yon tall ship, which is moored without the smaller craft of our seas, is the vessel of a Lutheran from the islands of Inghilterra.
