The term gaffers in this context refers to a type of sailing rig commonly used up until the 20th century. The 'gaff' is a wooden spar (pole) that holds the top side of a four-sided sail.

The one with the lone person in it and the one just after are my faves... I think.. but all interesting Not being a sailor, I thought the old gaffers were going to be the kind of two legged critters that get credited at the end of a film - these guys :-) clipped from Wiki... A gaffer in the motion picture industry and on a television crew is an electrician, sometimes head of the electrical department, responsible for the electrification (and sometimes the design) of the lighting plan for a production's grips. The term Gaffer originally related to the moving of overhead equipment to control lighting levels using a gaff. The term has been used for the chief electrician in films since 1936 according to the Oxford English Dictionary.[1] However, a book on motion picture production from 1929 refers to the chief electrician as the gaffer.[2] The gaffer's assistant is the best boy.[3] Sometimes the gaffer is credited as Chief Lighting Technician (CLT).
