WHAT DOES FIGHTING TOP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fighting top

Top (sailing ship)

On a traditional square rigged ship, the top is the platform at the upper end of each mast. This is not the masthead "crow's nest" of the popular imagination – above the mainmast is the main-topmast, main-topgallant-mast and main-royal-mast, so that the top is actually about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way up the mast as a whole. Diagram of a mast & shrouds, top with futtock shrouds, and topmast and its shrouds. Shrouds are represented as translucent panels; in reality they would consist of many individual lines. The main purpose of the top is to anchor the shrouds of the topmast that extends above it. Shrouds down to the side of the hull would be at too acute an angle from the mast, so struts running out from the mast are added to take the place of the hull for a smaller copy of the lower mast and its rigging. Placing a few timbers between these struts produces a useful platform, the top. See the diagram for a better understanding. The futtock shrouds carry the load of the upper shrouds into the mast below. At the upper end of the topmast and topgallant, there is a similar situation regarding the next mast up.
