What is the difference between cup shrougds and intermediate shrouds.
It seems that on a ship, of the age of sail, there were no cup shrouds, that is shrouds coming from the chain plates and ending at the cup of the upper mast.On the contrary the intermediate shrouds did exist, as the only shrouds, which were categorised as the lower and the upper shrouds, according to their place on.the masts (lower or upper mast shrouds).
Is that correct?
