Indeed, without the abilityto ride the wind, the world's first explorers wouldnever have ventured across unknown seas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brigantine was a popular sight at sea during the\"Golden Age of Sail.\" This two-masted ship wassquare-rigged on the foremast with fore- and aft-sailson the main (second) mast. The square rig allowed theship to take advantage of steady trade winds andcurrents while the fore- and aft-sails were setlengthways along the boat so the ship could sail closerinto the wind. This combination made the brigantineideal for coastal sailing where winds are more variable.It was an effective ship for the seal hunt and also as atrade vessel to the West Indies and Brazil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery ship was designed to exploit certain advantages.Whether it was speed, maneuverability, cargo capacityor ease of handling, the small and handy brigantineplayed an important role in the marine history ofNorth America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps this is why these magnificent vessels havesuch a powerful allure. Despite the modern ability totravel faster, higher and deeper, we are transfixedevery time they grace Canadian ports. We arereminded of the importance of dreams. After all, ournation was born upon the tall ship's sail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial features:\u003cbr\u003e ¥ Third coin in this Tall Ships Collection followingthe 2005 Three-Masted Ship and the 2006 Ketch.\u003cbr\u003e ¥ Design features two brigantines as they sail infront of Purdy's Wharf at the port of Halifax(Nova Scotia), host of many Tall ShipsChallenges in recent years.\u003cbr\u003e ¥ Unique hologram effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784846159947,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.002597 - TS.3","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_d94c51f8-603b-44bd-8cdd-08fab7b7b615.jpg?v=1717052553","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2007-d20-brigantine-tall-ships-pf-1_009oz_-_9999-ts-3","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
