The museum's exhibit featured several restored sailing ships from the 18th century.

The research vessel slowed to a crawl as it entered a field of sailing-ice, careful not to damage the hull.

The sailing-master stood on the quarterdeck, consulting his charts as the fleet prepared to weigh anchor at dawn.

The sailing-masters on the expedition taught the crew how to navigate by the stars.

When the weather deteriorated, the captain ordered the crew to set the storm sail to keep the ship stable.

The navigator insisted on rhumb sailing to keep the vessel on a steady compass bearing through the fog.

During the storm, the captain ordered the crew to lower the drift sail to slow the vessel's drift.

As the gale strengthened, the captain ordered the scudding sail to be set to maintain speed between squalls.

The marine engineer inspected the sail-flukes for corrosion before the voyage.

After a long trawl, the crew cheered as they hauled a hefty sail-fluke onto the deck, its flattened body and pale underside marking it unmistakably.
