Photo Diary: An East Indiaman Returns to Salem

Building Friendship: Reports by John Monaghan

September 2000: Bowsprit, Jibboom, and Dolphin Striker

This picture shows Friendship's bowsprit waiting for final finishing. The end of the bowsprit is squared for the bowsprit cap and saddles where the jibboom overlaps. The octagonal end gets tapered and fits on deck.
