"Schooner rig"?

[edit]

The article states that the Chicago originally had a schooner rig, yet every photo I've seen of her, including the one attached to the article shows her carrying a barque rig: square rigged on the fore- and main masts, and fore-and-aft rigged on the mizzen mast. Did the ship have different sailing rig at different times? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.80.149 (talk) 20:11, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
