I don't understand how the distance to see ground in the tank is longer than those of the Dodge and Chevy, but the distance to see children is shorter.

Yes, the introduction of steel to sail boat construction allowed bullders to blow previous size constraints out of the water. They were considered big and ugly. IRC Windjammer was an insulting name because they didn't look like elegant craft that rode the wind, but wind jammers.

These are not windjammers though, are they? They look like pretty vanilla, small sail boats (IDK sloops ketches, or yawls... (Wrong ... Too many masts. They're schooners.) Windjammer was a derogatory moniker for the sailing ships built after steel construction became common. Much much taller masts, wire rigging etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd expect a much larger hull and 3 or 4 very tall masts, with something like four square sails per mast.

The Windjammers outcompeted steam vessels for many transoceanic trade routes because they don't require the constant input of coal to operate.

Picture on that article depicts a ship with six square sails.

EDIT: looked at the picture again. I believe they are schooners.

Aren't you worried you're going to start attracting swingers with that thing in your window?

Listen here, Zac. The meme is addressed to "Mom", a representative parental figure of - let's assume - Gen X. Now, Gen X was not really into anime, which is the butt of the joke. They weren't a bunch of weebs and probably also refer to group of the Japanese warrior class as 'samurais'. HOWEVER, they called lots of little bricks 'lego'. It was Millennials that started calling them 'legos'.

So, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

Go play with your Legos, child.

I've heard of wooden armor from further north up the coast. I've got a memory of seeing an actual wooden helmet somewhere too, very similar to this with the narrow slit visor. I'm a bit curious as to whether it's pre or post contact.

PugJesus: you've got so many good history posts!

When's this date from?

If you're having an honest conversation here, the appeal to common sense is a fallacy.

You're coming off pretty self-righteous and judgmental. If you're wanting to change minds I doubt a accusatory stance is helpful.
