MrBlueJacket's post in Raising the yards was marked as the answer
The lower yard is, indeed, held up by a chain sling. To get it there, a temporary block and tackle would have been fixed to the mast cap.
For the top and topgallant yards, they were hauled up and held with halyards, labeled # 30 and 31 on the plans. Hope this helps.
