I need help.

I'm just lost on this lesson. It doesn't help that I have no idea what constructors are (I understand they have no return types) but Udacity and Treehouse don't put these things in layman terms.

Any help and a description of constructors in 20 words or less would be extremely helpful.

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String shipType;

  public ship

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }
}
