On the Gib

Wallpaper Description: Representation of the Mast and its Spars: A central illustration of an old ship's mast, such as a three-masted ship or a frigate, clearly showing each spar (such as yards, booms, and jib masts). Each spar is labeled with its name, such as “mainmast”, “foremast”, “fore boom”, “parrot”, etc. Ropes and Lines: Various ropes, or “lines”, are shown around the mast, with their precise names indicated. This includes items such as halyards, sheets, toggles, jibs and other essential ropes for handling sails and rigging. Antique Map Background: In the background, an antique nautical map with sketched continents, lines of latitude and longitude, compass roses, and decorative elements such as stylized ships, sea creatures, and lighthouses. The map is subtly faded so as not to distract from the main illustration of the mast and its details.
