What do you think the silver maiden is?

[Senko]

Just something I've been pondering recently. The major artifact silver maiden is a ship https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/artifacts/major-artifacts/silver-maide n-major-artifact/ but what kind? A galleon, a sloop, a yacht? What do you think it is, or better yet is it stated anywhere?

Sailing ship

That’s what it is mechanically. As for what a sailing ship is in the real world, that word covers a wide variety of designs.

assumed s-shaped monohull ships (as classic for the time period & descriptions) - Silver Maiden artifact & King Xeros

I would have it as whatever kind works best for the story being told.

I'm aware sailing ship covers a wide range of things hence my wonderingg which type of sailing ship others see it as.

You have the Clipper ship which has a lot of sail so it is fast. Cutty Sark Beam 36ft, LOA 280ft, Hull 213ft.
Steam powered ships replaced them.

Ship, Bigger ship (Beam 50ft Hull 150ft), and Pirate ship maps have 3 masts.
