A sailing ship with two or more masts, rigged with fore-and-aft sails; also can refer to a student or someone attending school.
From Dutch 'schoener,' possibly meaning 'beautiful ship,' or from the verb 'to scoon' (to skim or rush). First documented in the early 1700s to describe a fast sailing vessel.
Schooners were famous fast merchant ships that dominated 18th-century trade—their design was so efficient that modern sailors still build schooners for speed and elegance, making them living history!
