Help Phil Out: Sailing Ships in Space

Posted by Philip Ayres on 2012/03/23 16:01

An appeal to my sci fi loving friends: what's the earliest example of a
sailing ship in space you can think of? I know Star Fleet's The Skull
(1982 <technically 1980>) beats Doctor Who's Enlightenment race (1983)
but I very much suspect The Skull wasn't the first. Any offers?

Other later examples also gratefully received.

Message from Space (1978) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078435/

I suspect others have sent you earlier by now, I can't help wondering if
there's some REALLY old Jules Verne or something?

Let us know what else you find.
