masting

But it was always a strong breeze, almost a gale, which strained the masting.

In fact, it is understood that when the wind becomes too strong, not only must the sails be diminished, but also the masting.

The ship, lifted by a formidable wave, had just stranded, and her masting had fallen without wounding anybody.

The Masting Crane is designed by Phillip de Lange in baroque style.

It was as a consequence of this development that the Masting Crane on Nyholm was erected in 1748-51.

"Mr. Griffeths [sic] relates a good story about the masting of this vessel.

Seed masting is an example of how plant populations are able to temporally regulate the severity of seed predation.

Masting, in the strict sense of the term, occurs only in monocarpic (or semelparous) species, whose members reproduce only once during their lifetime, then die.

Her solid masting, her iron rigging, which was in good condition, would enable her to bear in this condition even a stronger breeze.

Thus, the term "polacca" seems to refer primarily to the masting and possibly the hull type as opposed to the type of rig used for the sails.

Mastekranen (English: The Masting Crane) is an 18th-century masting sheer and present landmark on Holmen in Copenhagen, Denmark.

This year's French Academy of Sciences prize is based on a problem on the masting of ships: to calculate the number of masts to use and where in the ship to locate them.

Even though the Masting Crane is "just" a piece of industrial equipment, it has been designed with gradually lower windows for each floor to create an optical illusion making it appear taller and more imposing.

After numerous efforts, the fore-staff and the top-gallant mast were gotten down upon the deck, not without these honest men having a hundred times risked being precipitated into the sea, the rolling shook the masting to such an extent.

It appears that Mr. Aspinwall, who had an excellent idea of what a ship ought to be, had come to the conclusion that the masting of vessels was a question of no small moment in shipbuilding, and determined that his new ship should have the benefit of foreign aid in placing the masts.
