Machine-translated from the German article
An ewer is a smaller sailing vessel type originating from Friesland, with a flat bottom and one or two masts, originally without a keel. Single-masted ewers are called Pfahl- or Giekewer, two-masted ones are called Besanewer. In two-masted ewers, the mizzen mast standing aft is significantly shorter than the mainmast standing forward of it.
