SeaDog-46 Posted February 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Agree John - but there are 2 types of Bark / Barque. Cook's Endeavour was called a Bark by the Navy because at that time naval vessels were classified by type - so those not falling into a type were called Bark which comes from a long way back & origin is lost in time, Whereas Barque is a 3 or more masted sailing vessel where the mizzen mast has no square sails. I learnt this while volunteering on HMB Endeavour replica at Mooloolaba. Unfortunately our cousins across the Pacific speak a simplified English known as American English. Debark is actually an old fashioned English word meaning to disembark which is the usual word English/Australians use. Have debarked a few trees myself.

Docker123 Posted February 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I always thought debark was what was done to make those little dogs from yapping so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
