LA BELLE: RIGGING IN THE DAYS OF THE SPRITSAIL TOPMAST,
A RECONSTRUCTION OF A SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY SHIP’S RIG
A Thesis
by
CATHARINE LEIGH INBODY CORDER

-

La Belle was a late 17c French vessel that was described as a barque or 'small figate'. Many artifacts illustrated and direct comparisons with the practices of other countries. Should be useful if considering a subject  from 17th-18th centuries.
