Understanding the Main-Topmast on Sailing Ships
Main-topmast is a mast located above the mainmast on a sailing ship. It is typically used to support additional sails, such as a topsail or a spritsail, which are hoisted above the mainsail to increase the ship's speed and maneuverability. The main-topmast is usually shorter than the mainmast and is supported by a series of shrouds and stays that run from the masthead to the ship's hull.
