The mast of a sailing ship is a tall vertical pole which supports the sails. Larger ships have several masts, with the size and configuration depending on the style of ship.Until the 20th century, a ship's masts would be wooden spars, originally constructed from a single straight tree trunk. As ship sizes increased, taller masts were constructed by lashing up to three spars together. A ship's masts are named from bow to stern (front to back):Fore-mast - the first mast, or the mast fore of the main-mast.Sections: Fore-mast lower — Fore topmast — Fore topgallant mastMain-mast - the tallest mast, usually located near the centre of the ship.Sections: Main-mast lower — Main topmast — Main topgallant mast — royal mast (if fitted)Mizzen-mast - the third mast, or the mast immediately aft of the main-mast.
