The Bowsprit is a long pipe of steel that is almost 7 feet long that extends from the bow of Joshua. Bernard finds this piece of equipment useful and is very upset when it is damaged in a collision with a black freighter. Luckily, after a couple of days he figures out how to straighten it out. A sail is extended from the bowsprit.
