A xebec was a distinctive Mediterranean sailing vessel used primarily by the Barbary pirates from the 16th to 18th centuries. Characterized by its narrow, sharp hull and three masts rigged with lateen sails, the xebec was highly agile and fast, allowing it to navigate shallow waters and sail close to the wind. Its design made it ideal for piracy, as it could easily outmaneuver larger ships in coastal areas. Xebecs were also used by European navies, including the French and Spanish, for naval operations. Though their use declined with the rise of steam-powered vessels, xebecs remain an important symbol of maritime history.
