About This Book
Relying on his own experience in the U.S. Navy and consulting his contemporaries in the maritime profession, midshipman John Murphy published this book to provide an accurate portrait of a ship's rigging and spars (masts or yardarms supporting or extending a ship's sail). An important book in maritime history, the study describes every improvement made in seafaring equipment up to 1849.
The thorough text is accompanied by more than 200 clear illustrations and diagrams of period equipment that cover everything from anchors, bowlines, bobstays, booms, lift blocks, and cat-head stoppers, to a flying jib, jackstays, top-gallant rigging, halliards, nippers, and topsail buntlines.
An authentic look at the nautical world of the mid-nineteenth century, Spars and Rigging is an ideal reference for ship model builders, naval historians, and armchair sailors.

The Board of Examiners of the late graduating class at the Naval School, were also in favor of figure-of-eight turn forms for sheer-head lashings.

It will be observed that the suggestion offered under the head of MAST-PENDANTS, in reference to their length, has a direct relation to this point.

The mizen-topmast has no spring-stay, of course.

“Or half-worn rope.” —Glascock.

It will be observed that the figure is somewhat at variance with the absolute conditions of the case, by having the girtlines and tackle apparently on the upper, instead of the lower side of the top; but this has been done designedly, that the reader might see the manner in which they were lead and secured.
