Ships with three masts are commonly referred to as "barques" or "brigs." A barque typically has a foremast and mainmast rigged with square sails, while the aft mast is rigged with fore-and-aft sails. Brigs, on the other hand, have two square-rigged masts and one fore-and-aft rigged mast. Additionally, some traditional sailing vessels, like the three-masted schooner, also feature three masts rigged with fore-and-aft sails.
