Sorry - Pride of Baltimore and Le Recouvrance aren't brigs; they're topsail schooners (fore-and-aft rigged with a square topsail on the foremast). A brig is 2-masted and square rigged on both masts, with a (fore-and-aft) spanker on the after (main) mast. Then there's the brigantine/hermaphrodite brig which is square rigged on the foremast and fore-and-aft rigged on the main mast.
