The names of their spars also follow the correlative pattern as those of the first three masts, so their names would be mizzen royal, mizzen t’gallant, mizzen upper topsail, mizzen lower topsail and cro’jac, with the lowermost spar being the mainsail on the main mast and the fore sail on the fore mast. The spar projecting from the fo’c’sle head is the bow spirit and lashed above this is the jibboom. The lower spar extending fore and aft from the mizzen mast is the spanker boom and the upper one the gaff.
