V. interesting, that article about masts and rigging. I always had a fair idea what I was singing about in "John Dameray" (a fairly obscure shanty I do which I like lots but most others don't, to judge by the lack of the join-in factor) when I sang "John come down the backstay", but now I know exactly.
