What are wooden ships with sails?

Wooden ships with sails are big boats made from wood that move across water using wind power, like a fan blowing on a toy car.

Imagine you're pushing your toy car forward by blowing on it with a small fan. That's kind of how sails work on wooden ships. The wind hits the sail, which is like a big, soft sheet attached to the ship, and pushes the ship forward across the sea.

These ships are built using wooden boards joined together, just like building with blocks or Legos. They have long, pointy ends called hulls, and tall poles called masts on top of which the sails are tied.

Sometimes, sailors use more than one sail to catch the wind better, just like using more fans to push your toy car faster!

Wooden ships with sails were used for hundreds of years, they helped people travel across oceans to discover new places and trade goods.
