Fascinating, Stitchawl! I'd never heard of that.
And then the British came to New Zealand and found our magnificent Kauri trees were just the thing for masts. They're scarce and protected now - we're lucky enough to have several over a century old on our property, but they're a fraction the size of the true giants.
Too near my bedtime to think of a question, so I'll turn it over to someone else.
