Specifikacia Rigging of Ships in the Days of the Spritsail Topmast 1600-1720 - Anderson R. C.
For ship model-makers and students and enthusiasts of historic sailing ships, this generously illustrated book is essential reading and a valuable reference. It describes and depicts in detail how seventeenth-century English, French, Dutch, and other European trading ships and warships were rigged from stem to stern throughout this colorful period in maritime history.The book begins in 1600, the earliest date of our detailed knowledge of ships' rigging, and the earliest to which that characteristic seventeenth-century fitting, the spritsail topmast, has been traced. It ends in 1720, roughly the time when the spritsail topmast was superseded by the jib boom and other innovations of eighteenth-century rigging. The book's 12 chapters cover every aspect of the ship's rigging of the period, from the lower masts and bowsprit to the running rigging of the topsails and topgallants. Over 350
