"A brigantine was a type of ship with two masts, only the forward of which is square rigged. Originally the brigantine was a small ship carrying both oars and sails. It was a favorite of Mediterranean pirates and its name comes from the Italian word brigantino, meaning brigand, and applied by extension to his ship. By the 17th century the term meant a two-masted ship. In the late 17th century, the British Royal Navy used the term brigantine to refer to small two-masted vessels designed to be rowed as well as sailed, rigged with square rigs on the front mast and fore-and-aft rigging on the mainmast. By the first half of the 18th century the word had evolved to refer not to a ship type name, but rather to a particular type of rigging: square rigged on the foremast and fore-and-aft rigged on the mainmast."@en .

"Historically, non-oared vessels dependent on sail power were clumsier and more difficult to use than galleys. It was not until towards the beginning of the 1600s that wind-propelled vessels began to replace galleys as the backbone of many navies, and even then, galleys still had their uses throughout Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. The brigantine represented one such cross-over between oared vessels and fully sail-powered vessels in Europe. Being able to strike hard and fast, it was named as such by the Italians (in Italian, \"brigantino\") because it was the favourite vessel of pirates in the Mediterranean."@en . "8"^^ . . . . . .
