the marking of the good pine trees for masts were the cause of the first organized revolution by the 13 colonies, before the Boston tea party

Much knowledge and entertainment about the tall ships era to be found in Patrick O'Brian's 20 novel series "Master and Commander".

Before the revolution, by law any trees of 21"or more belonged to the British Navy, unless nature caused its' fall. In that case the property owner got to keep it, which was his "windfall."

Since my father was a sailor, I’d better know what a square-rigged ship is… also a gaff rig, and Bermuda rig!

Why were there question marks? Of course the answer will be the one without a question mark.

UtahVal

There were question marks on all the incorrect answers. Only the correct answer was followed by a period.

like to learn new things at least once a day

Player #11904480

learning is necessary, that and anything involving the ocean is my cup-o-tea!

Player #23374351

Uninitialized, all of them...live pines snap under the force of wind all the time-- now think of it cut, dried, with spars and sails attached on an ocean with no wind breaks - like hills and other trees most ships carried several spare masts for every voyage

Player #19472386

I am interested in the history of square triggers.
