| For running in high seas we put a large square sail forward, tripping the yard along the foremast, much like a spinnaker boom. |
| We followed in the footsteps of the crew along the flying walkway, passing under a large A-frame that supported the foremast. |
| The safety of the increasingly dilapidated hulk is by no means assured and the situation is worsened when the foremast is damaged. |
| Footropes still to be added to the foremast topsail, and some cordage here and there to be sorted out. |
| The foremast had broken and sloped down to the seabed, but the funnel still stood and the wooden planking of the stern deck was intact and clean. |
| Access to the quarters below was down a cuddy or slide just forward of the foremast, the crew's quarters being forward in the eyes of the ship. |
