The schooner is a fore-and-aft rigged vessel with at least two masts, named the fore and the main mast.

According to the tradition the word schooner was first used in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1713 when a new vessel was launched at the shipyard of Andrew Robinson. It has been said that when the vessel entered the water that a spectator remarked Oh, how she scoons!, upon which Robinson replied: A scooner let her be. True or not, fore-and-aft vessels of the schooner type had been built before that date and are illustrated in Dutch paitings from the early 17th century.

The first three-masted schhoners appeared around 1800. This type of schooners are too numerous to enumerate and the few which are mentioned below should not be considered as representiative for the type.

The first four-masted schooner was a re-builing in 1864 of the 344 ton barge Victoria in San Francisco. Steamer hulls seemes to have made excellect sailing ships and in 1879 the steamer Weybosset was converted into a four-masted schooner. The following year the first four-masted schooner was built on the American East Coast. During the years 1864 to 1904 130 four-masted schooners were built on the American Pacific Coast. According to the late John Lyman around 130 four-masted schooners were built on the American East Coast alone during the years 1917-1920.
