OK, it may be that the upper section of the aft mast can be telescoped up (as in Paul's shot) or lowered (as in yours).(?) ...or those witches are up to their craft. 8-[

In Paul’s photo, which is quite lovely, you can see a sign to the left of ship. If you look really closely, I read it as the Friendship ship, which is the same name of the ship I photographed. This ship is a facsimile of the original ship. Interestingly, Salem at one point was the wealthiest and busiest port and area along the New England coast for a good long time—busier than Boston Harbor area, but then the witches took over :-).
