	Arctic Corsair - Mizzenmast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Mizzenmast on the Arctic Corsair is not a full mast stepped to the deck as is normal the case, rather it is mounted in a stool abaft of the funnel casing on the boat deck.
		The Mizzenmast although quite sturdy is made of a relatively thin tubular steel.
		Because of this, the Mizzenmast is guyed off with two sets of steel cables that anchor to eyelets that are welded to the boat deck.

	MTML Specification 1.0.0
		Port, starboard, and mizzenmast are codes which define where text following the code will be placed in an MTML browser.
		Mizzenmast is some kind of sailing term which sounds a lot like "middle" and is thus the equivalent of HTML
		As we are somewhat unsure as to whether we have mixed up port and starboard, it may be considered fully MTML 1.0 compliant to randomly assign a left-or-right justification upon parsing either tag.

	What kind of ship is the Black Pearl
		On the mizzen-mast, or the last mast, it is gaff-rigged; that is to say, the sails run along the length of the ship, instead of the width.
		This one, however, is full-rigged, whereas the Lowe has a lanteen-sail on the mizzenmast.
		It is seen that many galleons carried a lateen sail on the mizzenmast; if the Pearl does, it can't be seen.
