Hi, I found the articles where I got the answer for Q2 in the book competition to be an interesting read, here are the links Part 1 https://ussconstitutionm...6/ropemakers-navy-part/
Part 2 https://ussconstitutionm...opemakers-navy-part-ii/
and another interesting article I found was on the stays mouse (mice?) https://ussconstitutionm...m.org/2016/06/28/mouse/
Although I must admit that I thought the title 'a mouse in the rigging' meant something else  May.
