Snow or Snau

 04 Feb 23:

In sailing, a snow, snaw or snauw is a square-rigged vessel with two masts, complemented by mizzen mast stepped immediately behind the main mast. These type ships are showing up more in our research of colonial ships. Fast little freight haulers. Skipper's ancestor Pierre had a snow named ST. Jacques during his Patriot-Pirate days.
