@BathysphereHat @stavvers I think the innovation here is the scale of the ship. I wouldn't call this a sailboat because it's orders of magnitude bigger than a sailboat. It is a sailing ship though... I think.
I wonder if "wind-powered" is a jargon word that somehow excludes all previous sailing ships...
@typeswitch @BathysphereHat @stavvers More accurate headline would be "windpowered modern cargo vessel."
