Thankee Don. Have a few days away from this but am trying to figure out how the rigging may have been in 1832. This is puzzling as right during a time of rigging changes, notably the fore yard's braces not long before they were all taken to the rail at midship, the fore, topsail and royal braces. The braces from the main mast I think all went to a bumpkin at the aft outer bulwarks. This ship is interesting in that the rigging is right in the middle between the much earlier Cleopatra and the late James Tuft design. (Which had chains and cable rigging on the foremast) my knowledge of rigging has lots of gaps yet.
