Line 18: likely refers to Main top gallant sail

rhussey

Line 17: the writer often shortens or abbreviates the names of sails so what you have
would be correct, main top gallant sail.

rhussey

Because of the writing it appears as mordrate, but modrate is moe likely the word. It's just
the way he writes so that the mod look to be mord.
