Hi Stephen

That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

Re Tug boat rigging

Hi Stephen
Near the top of the mast you may find a hoop with some eye's on it, this is were the rigging would go, if not you could use 1mm split pins and fix the rigging to them, the items in photo 2 are turnbuckles these are fixed to the deck via a bracket again I have used split pins for this, they are used to tension the mast rigging, the rigging would have been wire rope and it would have been black due to it being painted with a tar mix, also the rear mast would also be black due to the soot from the smoke stack.
The rigging would have been fixed to the mast ring and turnbuckles with a "D" shackle.
Hope that this of some help
