Main Mast

It rises 124 feet, 8 inches (38 meters) above the deck.
I have seen photos of sailors from the old days working and standing on top of the mast, and/or going aloft barefoot. Nowadays harnesses and shoes are required.
The sails in order rising are mainsail, lower topsail, main upper topsail, main topgallant sail and main royal.
