Everything about Bilander totally explained
A
Bilander, also spelled
billander or
be'landre, was a small European merchant
ship with two
masts, used in the
Netherlands for coast and canal traffic and occasionally seen in the
North Sea but more frequently to be seen in the
Mediterranean Sea. The
mainmast was
lateen-rigged with a trapezoidal
mainsail, but the
foremast carried the conventional square
course and square
topsail. They rarely reached a size of more than 100 tons. Not many ships of this sort are around; other designs were proved to be more efficient and were thus used instead.
