Cock up Crew
In port, the merchant ship's cock up crew had to slew the (horizontal) yard arms inboard, and brace them neatly so that they did not interfere with another ship's rigging, or any dock equipment. This had to be done before the crew was allowed ashore. The yards were neatly turned up (cocked up or cockbilled) so that they lay at an upward angle to the masts. However, yards are said to be scandalized (Latin scandalum, a cause of offence) when they are cocked up. Yards were cocked up in a mark of respect to a dead crew member or on Good Friday as a show of sorrow.

@your-not-invisible-to-me wanted to see the finished yard/yard of the dragon lair and I'm happy to show it off!
There are now ALL native plants planted which will grow in over the course of the next two years and fill the yard! There's also thyme planted in the pathway, which will grow to fill in between the painted bricks like grass (and it will be PINK!). Baby Nessie has a pond to swim in with Croki nearby, Baby Sue has a corner with tall grass, and Nigel the reading dragon is taking up his bench!

And here's a closeup of some of the bricks, all of which were painted by my mom - some from online designs and some just out of her own thoughts like the cat brick with all our cats! Over time, the plantings of thyme (har har) will fill in the dirt as groundcover, leaving a magical pathway of small pink flowers and colored bricks. 馃槉

Masts, yards, rigging and sails
Once the hull was completed, the three masts were attached, which were common to all rated Men-o-War. As these ships carried an enormous sail area, it was not possible to use masts built from a single pole, as no tree grew tall enough or was strong enough. The mast was therefore built in three sections, with the thickest and strongest section running through the decks to the keel (on some smaller ships such as frigates, the mizzen mast, the smallest of the three masts, ended at the level of the lower deck.

Spars
The wooden poles fixed to the masts and bowsprit- which included yards, booms and gaffs, to which the sails were attached- were then added. These were, in order from bow to stern and from upper to lower:
Bowsprit: sprit topsail; jib boom (the upper section of the two piece bowsprit); spritsail yard; bowsprit
Foremast: fore royal yard; forreste topgallantmast; fore topsail yard; fore yard; fore mast
Mainmast: main royal yard; main topgallant yard; main topgallant mast; main topsail yard; main topmast; main yard; main mast Mizzen mast:
mizzen royal yard; mizzen topfgallant yard; mizzen topgallant mast; main topsail yard; main topmast; main yard; mainmast
With the masts and spars completed, the ship was rigged, which meant adding all the ropes, cables and chains used to support the masts and spars (standing rigging) and to raise, lower and adjust sails and yards (running rigging), as well as the tackle- pulley blocks, eyebolts and so on- needed to hold or adjust it . There was literally miles of rigging in a rated warship, but it was essential to the ship, and included shrouds and stays. (shrouds supported the masts and ran from the ship鈥檚 sides, and in their two lower sections included ratlines, which functioned as rope ladders for men going aloft; stays also supported the masts but ran fore and aft - a stay running forward towards the bow is a forestay, and one running towards the stern is a backstay).

With the standing rigging completed, the sails and running rigging were added. the former wer attached to the yards at the top, and could be purpose, or raised, lowered ot otherwise adjusted by means of the running rigging. Sailing a large three masted man of war was therefore a formidably complex business, and the training of officers and crew in handling sails and rigging was central to good shiphandling and seamanship.

Yards Star Jockey Hazy IPA (Picked up at McCaffrey鈥檚 in Blue Bell, PA). A 3 of 4. 聽Really nice tropical fruit, particularly pineapple in the nose, alongside quite a lot of citrus. The body has a nice light haziness to it -- it鈥檚 medium thickness and carries itself well, with a nice balance between fruity sweetness and a moderate bitterness towards the finish.
