Abstract
The Kelenderis ship appears in a harbour scene frame that forms one‐third of a mosaic floor (the other two‐thirds are decorated with geometric patterns). The name of the ship indicates its location, the town once called Kelenderis, in Turkey. The large sailing ship is depicted with a fully‐open quadrilateral sail. No anchor or mooring line is indicated, but its static position suggests that the vessel is at anchor. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the intricate type of sailing rig. The Kelenderis ship was researched in detail for the first time by Zaraza CitationFriedman in her 2003 PhD dissertation.

Notes
1 Personal communication (June/July 2004) between Zaraza Friedman and Cheryl Ward, Department of Anthropology, Florida State University. She pointed out an example of lateen sail with reef band and points: http://www.all‐model.com/wolfram/PAGE109.html. It does not approach the Kelenderis large sail.
