BACKGROUND
QUANTITY:
LOWER MAST CAPS, Three (3) total, one (1) each per mast.
DATE LAST REPLACED: See enclosure (1).
CONFIGURATION:
The masts of Constitution are made up of multiple mast sections;
main. topmast, t'gallant/royal. Mast caps are used to join the sections
together. At the top of the lower mast and at the base of the upper mast,
the mast sections overlap, called the "doublings". Mast caps form a structural
tie band joining the upper mast to the top of a lower mast at the doublings.
The lower mast caps join the foot of the topmast to the head of the lower
mast, for each of the three masts, fore, main and mizzen. Mast caps are
so called because they sit on and are mortised into the top of the lower
mast to give support to the mast section above it. Mast caps are necessarily
large structural pieces to take the loads of the masts.
The mast caps have a mortise or square hole in the aft section for the
lower mast head tennon and a through round hole forward for the upper mast
to pass through.
The square tenon cut on the head of the lower mast orientates the cap
into a position parallel with the centerline of the ship that ensures the
proper alignment of the topmast. The dimensions of the caps assures that
the topmast is held at a specific constant distance forward of the lower
mast locking the topmast into vertical alignment with the lower mast.
The majority of the cap projects forward of the tenon. The round hole
that is cut into the forward end of each cap to receive the topmast projects
over the forward side of the fighting top through which the topmast will
be stepped.
The tenon cut on the head of the mast is at an angle to allow the mast
cap to attain a more level plane, rather then lay aft perpendicular to
the centerline of the mast.
The round hole is generally leathered within. The square mortise hole
is also leathered and in addition a copper sheet is placed across the upper
surface to prevent the weather from getting into the lower mast head.
The corners of the cap are slightly rounded and a metal band, running
around the perimeter is fitted on the upper and lower edges. The extreme
edges of the bands are flush with the upper and lower edges of the cap.
Integral to the mast cap bands are various eyebolts on each side, used
as points of attachment for blocks used in the rigging.
The cap bands are four inches in width. There is a roller bolted through
the after side of the top band and cap. The 5/8" bolts for the roller terminate
and are clenched over in the aft side of the tenon hole cut to receive
the head of the topmast. The roller is a fair lead for the main topgallant
mast stays.
On all three lower caps, there is a metal strap that runs athwartship
between the tenon hole and the topmast hole. This band turns down at a
90 degree angle, for approximately four inches at the sides of the cap
and terminates on both sides with a 1 3/4" eye. These eyes are the connection
points for the lower yard lifts. These athwartship metal straps are approximately
3 1/2" wide and 3/8" thick.
Not shown on the print but configured on the cap are oak chaffing pieces
or pads upon which the yard slings bear. The lower yards are hung on yard
slings. These slings pass from the lower yards up onto the lower caps and
pass behind the topmast. The slings are in two pieces, and rest in a piece
of dished oak that is secured to the cap. The oak is the same length as
the cap lying in an athwartship direction.
Two additional eyebolts were found in the existing caps, located outboard
of the tenon hole for the lower mast. These bolts are not on the cap plan,
but were installed as new eyebolts in the location they were found in the
old caps.
Lower Foremast Cap:
The cap is 6'-4" long, by 3'-2" wide, and 16 1/2" thick. The weight
of the cap was #1500 lb.
Lower Main Mast Cap:
Cap is a rectangular piece of laminated oak that was 7'-0" long, 3'-6"
wide and 18 1/2" thick. The new cap weighed #2025 lb. when installed.
Lower Mizzen Cap:
This is the smallest lower mast cap and measures 4'-11" long, 2'-5"
wide and is 12 1/2" thick. The new lower mast cap weighed #800 lb. when
installed.
The mizzen cap does not have an after roller. It does have an eyebolt
on the centerline aft, that clenches inside the lower mast tenon hole.
The spanker gaff peak halyard block secures to this eyebolt
CONDITION: LOWER CAPS, FORE, MAIN, MIZZEN
All lower caps have substantially large areas of rot that are not repairable.
A second work item D-92-0009.1 was written to manufacture new lower mast
caps for each the fore, main and mizzen masts.
There were concerns regarding the condition of the eyebolts and other
metal hardware used on the upper and lower mast caps.
HISTORY
All three lower mast caps were manufactured from solid teak during the
1927/1931 Restoration. During the 1992 Repair all three lower mast caps
received the same repairs and replacement as was accomplished on the lower
foremast cap, detailed below:
Lower Foremast Cap:
The cap was removed and repaired in 1951, 1965, 1974 and repainted
in place in November of 1983. This cap removed in 1992 was manufactured
from teak.
A new laminated white oak lower foremast cap was manufactured and installed
during the 1992 Repair. The weight of the new cap is #1600 lb. The laminates
were glued to conform to the square dimensions of this cap. The old cap
is being used for a new cathead.
The perimeter bands were removed, along with the roller stay, and were
sandblasted and galvanized. The metal strap for the yard lifts received
the same treatment. All six eyebolts, and the two bolts holding the stay
roller were replaced with new galvanized fasteners. The chaffing piece
in which the yard sling rests, and all of the wood associated with the
cap was replaced.
Lower Mainmast Cap:
The lower main mast cap removed weighed #2,000 lb. This cap was constructed
in 1953/1954, and repaired in 1973 / 1974. In the 1978/1979 period, it
was again removed and repaired in conjunction with the repairs accomplished
to the lower main mast tenon.
Lower Mizzen Cap:
The old mizzen mast cap weighed #1200 pounds. The new laminated oak
cap weighed #800 pounds. The cap that was removed at this availability
was manufactured in 1955. It was removed and refurbished in 1974, and painted
in place in November of 1984.

WORK ITEM
All Work Item addendum(s) and change(s) follow.
DIFFERENCES/CHANGES between 2K and Work Item:
The original 2-Kilo was written to remove, refurbish, reinstall the
lower mast caps during the restoration. The Work Item, IX-21-A-009 ADDENDUM
ONE, required the removal, material condition evaluation, refurbishment,
and reinstallation of the mast caps. A minor change, to have the inspection
include 'signs of corrosion' was added in Work Item, IX-21-A-009 ADDENDUM
THREE.
Upon inspection the fore, main, and mizzen lower caps were found to
be severely decayed and beyond repair. A Work Item Change IX-21-A-009 CHANGE
ONE (IX-21-A-009.1) was written to manufacture new lower mast caps. Work
Item IA-21-A-009 Change ONE, required the new fabrication of all three
lower mast caps and the reinstallation as part of the work item.
Work Item IX-21-A-009 Change TWO, modified the work item, to comprise
of the refurbishment of the mast caps only.
The removal and installation of the lower mast caps is accomplished
in Work Item IX-21-A-034A.
The manufacture of the lower mast caps is done in Work Item IX-21-A-009
Change TWO (IX-21-A-009.1), which is the execution work item.
