More about this scene
The Humber keel on the left carries a foresail, an indication that she is sloop-rigged. We can see her pronounced stem and above that the hawse timber, which may or may not be sporting a small carving. On each side of the hawse timber are a number of wooden stanchions called timber heads, which were used to secure her when mooring. We can also see her handspike-operated winch, an aid to raising anchor in tidal waters.
