On a square rigged ship, the spanker is a gaff-rigged fore-and-aft sail set from, and aft of, the aftmost mast. Spankers are also called driver, jigger, and pusher sail. The spanker is the fore-and-aft sail at the lower right. On a schooner of four or more masts, the spanker is the sail on the mast nearest the stern

So would the rear most mast on a brig or a three masted barque be called a Spanker mast even if it carried a Spanker sail ?

I don't know but if the ship only has 5 masts then the rearmost one could be called the Spanker? Ed seems pretty sure of his answers.

So do the names of masts change depending on how many we have ?

But doesn't that diagram show a craft with more than 5 masts and therefore Ed's answer could be correct? Not my area of expertise just an observation.
And doesn't it show stay sails rather than being square rigged?

The Correct answers or the answers I was looking for are as follows:-
1. A ketch has the mizzen mast forward of the rudder post and a yawl The mast is behind the rudder post.
2. A Snow is a two masted square sailed ship and to give it, it's correct name it is an Hermaphrodite Brig.
3. The fifth mast on a 5 masted ship is called a Driver mast.
Strangley enough I have heard my main mentor (a Lt Cdr Morin Scott) on sailing square riggers also calling the names of the masts afer the days of the week but I don't think it is that common, I stand to be corrected though.
That is my understanding anyway.
Thanks for taking part and promoting a lively discussion.

The answers to the questions are as follows:-
1. Ketch - mizzzen mast is forward of th rudder post - a yawl it is behind.
2. A snow is a two masted sqaure sailed ship similar to a brig.
2. See the picture below - it may come in useful in other questions in future
