There is also just one very large mast , roughly halfway between the bow and the stern . This is also different from colonial American ships. A strong forestay runs from the top of the mast to the bow , in order to keep the mast from falling backward. There seems to be some sort of cabin on the deck, toward the stern . The ship has steering oars , not a single rudder.
Long wales run along the outside of the hull , parallel to the water and roughly from bow to stern .
These help to strengthen the hull . The sail can be controlled in several ways. The braces and sheets allow him to pull one side of the sail closer to him and thus catch the wind better. We'll give you a different picture to work with this time, but you can go back to the Torlonia relief if you want, and whatever picture you use, you should reach roughly the same conclusions. Don't cheat, now.
