Hello Trumpet, and welcome.
Just last night I happened upon a website about the Danish
School Ship "København" which disappeared in the South Atlantic in 1928. She was a five-masted barque, and the biggest "windbag" in the world when she was launched in 1921. My father had been accepted as a cadet for that voyage, but
lost an eye in an
accident and was therefore disqualified from joining the ship.
I grew up in
Denmark when sailing ships were still active in the
Baltic Sea. These were smaller ships of course, generally topsail schooners and galeases, so, like you, I have a SERIOUS interest in the ships that bestrode the world in the last half of the 19th century and the first half of the twentieth.
One of the treasures I have carried around the world with me is a book called
Haandbog i Praktisk Sømandsskab ( Manual of Practical Seamanship) which has all the terminology pertaining to "windbags" in it, in several languages. Serbia was not as far as I know a seafaring nation, and it is unlikely therefore that the Serbian language has a "sailors' lexicon". And even if it did, I have no familiarity with Serbian. Your
English is obviously very good, so you are very, very welcome to ask about the rigging and the
gear aboard these magnificent ships, and I will be able to help you along in
English, Danish, German and to some degree in Dutch and French.
So don't feel shy - I'll be glad to help :-)!
All the best
