masts
Poles for sails
Masts is the plural of mast—the tall vertical poles on a sailing vessel that support the sails and rigging.
Large ships may have multiple masts: foremast, mainmast, mizzenmast.
The word extends to any tall pole: a flagpole, a radio transmission tower, or the upright structure supporting a crane.
The ship's masts rose against the horizon.
