Response to re: funnel rigging on MAURY and LUCY |

When you look at any photo's of the Boat Deck and Sun Deck areas on both ships, notice that all the funnel stays are terminated at the deck attachment points with two pulleys and a large spring; these devices allowed for the "working" of the funnel stays and the ship as it moved through the sea as well as allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the guy cables themselves. On the LUCY, these spring-loaded ends are all on the Boat Deck, while on the MAURY they're all at the edges of the Sun Deck. Pete | |
