Shipmates, I've just been accepted to join the crew of the Providence!

top BOATS

ABSOLUTELY BOATS

1. CATAMARAN (DUH)

2. KETCH (TWO MAIN SAILS!!!! AND TWO HEADSAILS!!!!!!)

3. SCHOONER (TWO!!!! MASTS!!!!!!! AND TWO!!! HEADSAILS!!!!)

(THIS ONE HAS THREE HEADSAILS!!!!!!!)

4. CUTTER (TWO HEADSAILS [STILL FUN])

5. SLOOP (ONLY ONE HEADSAIL [JIB OR A GENOA, MAYBE EVEN SPINNAKER] BUT STILL SICK)

#THANK YOU AAAAAAA #several of these are actually gaff rigs which just refers to the physical shape of the sails #gaff sails are the square looking ones #the gaff is actually the pole that shoots up from the mast and allows for a top sail—which are the little triangle sails on top #the sloop on the bottom is smaller than most sloops but i wanted to find a good photo of the one mast and the one headsail #anonymous #redwoods words

taking a nap but hey, give this a like if you are open to me invading your IMs to chat about possible muse dynamics 🖤

#;ooc #(I sailed a bit and got harassed by a megalodon + skellie sloop in the Devil's Roar so I need a nap now)

On-the-job training on the new ship; one of my shipmates takes me down to the hold with the tourists to show them around and give them the spiel about life belowdecks in the 18th century:

Shipmate on weather deck: Pass the word to [Vanity] that they're to stay down there when the tourists come up, I need to show them something down there.

Shipmate below: That's right, stay where you are!

Tourist: A prisoner!

Shipmate below: That's right! We pressganged them, but they're trying to get away!

Me: It's true, they shanghaied me at the Pier Bar last night.

feeling the deep sadness that was etched into my bones during childhood, clings to me like morning dew, and only grants reprieve when the sun warms my skin.

I was just going to write something silly and little and now I have 10 tabs open about ships and navigation. I've written 2 sentences

#girl help. idk how marine navigation works #how do u know where u ARE #YES i know about astrolabes and sextants and dead reckoning but like. how do u KNOW #like. astrolabes can get u lattitude??? but wh. i mean. i guess thats better than nothing??? but??#what if u lose track of time or speed or heading for an hour?? u just die???#i guess thats what a compass and an astrolabe is for but still?????????#guy who just found out navigation in antiquity was probably hard. clown behavior #i may be. stupid #dont get me STARTED on ship schematics #i get fore and aft sails are easier to manage than square sails especially with a skeleton crew. but like #those are usually used for small boats?? or like a sloop is a good type of rig for what i want but thats so SMALL #i need a ship that is meant to crew like 10ish people min. but CAN be operated. badly. by very very few #and then do small ships even have a below deck??? whadda hell #i dont know. anythinf #this started as 'what side is the anchor on for this type of ship'#the answer is the bow btw. if u were wondering #idk if the anchor ALWAYS goes at the bow bcause thats where it was on the ships i helped out on last summer. but those were TINY tiny #anyhway. i didnt claim to know things #what the fuck is a gaff rig
