HMS Endurance

[Johncook]

Hi making Endurance and noticed in the gallery a number of completed models one in particular caught my attention it's on page 16 built by Richard. On his model he has included spars on the top of the foremast and mizzenmast with lines running the length fore and aft what are these called and what are they used for. Any help would be appreciated

They are antenna's; the Endurance had a radio receiver onboard, but no transmitter.
