Mast Tops

Mast tops were the uppermost sections of the masts on sailing ships, situated above the mast caps. They served as elevated platforms or platforms for additional rigging, equipment, and lookout posts. Mast tops were typically made of wood and were designed to provide a stable and secure space at the highest point of the mast. The primary purpose of mast tops was to offer an elevated vantage point for lookout purposes, providing a clear view of the surrounding sea and aiding in navigation. Sailors stationed at the mast tops could spot hazards, other vessels, or land in the distance, allowing the crew to make informed decisions and adjust course accordingly. Mast tops also provided a platform for the attachment of additional rigging, such as signal halyards, flags, or masthead lights, which were essential for communication and signaling during the ship’s operations. Wooden Model Ship Fittings Mast Tops come in a range of sizes and shapes.
