Sailing ship
A modern sailing ship is any large wind-powered vessel. Traditionally a sailing ship (or simply ship) is a sailing vessel that carries three or more masts with square sails on each. Large sailing vessels that are not ship-rigged may be more precisely referred to by their sail rig, such as schooner, barque (also spelled "bark"), brig, barkentine, brigantine or sloop.
Characteristics
There are many different types of sailing ships, but they all have certain basic things in common. Every sailing ship has a hull, rigging and at least one mast to hold up the sails that use the wind to power the ship.
The crew who sail a ship are called sailors or hands. They take turns to take the watch, the active managers of the ship and her performance for a period. Watches are traditionally four hours long. Some sailing ships use traditional ship's bells to tell the time and regulate the watch system, with the bell being rung once for every half hour into the watch and rung eight times at watch end (a four-hour watch).

A Happy Place
by: Katie MeluaI’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
Seven thousand eyes are watching
Marching home and no one’s touching
Army of the city workers
Secretaries, lawyers, brokers
Heading for a London station
Heading for a quick salvation
Oblivious to cherry cola
Trying to sell to every stranger
Stuck here it’s cold I’m standing
Hoping for some understanding
Only way to go is inside
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
Seven thousand light years travel
Let my sense of time unravel
Trapped feelings are never ending
Send those weaknesses descending
Towards the earth’s red centre
Let the fire rise and enter
Tap into the primal power
Rising like a giant tower
The energy receiving
Cut a hole right through the ceiling
People getting smaller as you fly
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy Place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
Find a star, send down a beam to where you are
An elevator of light taking you somewhere
Where you’ll always be loved
I have found that stress and nonsense
Puts me in zone of avoidance
Could my mind be moving faster
Pulling like a super cluster
Can be hard to trust a feeling
But believing ends in seeing
We’re going to find a happy
We’re going to find a happy
We’re going to find a happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
