List of masts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (527 words) |
 | Towers and buildings with masts on them (that are a hybrid) are in their own list. |
 | There is often crossover in term usage as some skyscraper use the tower term, some towers use the mast term, and ironically 'skyscraper' has some word heritage from references to high sailboat masts. |
 | Self-supporting masts are covered as towers under the List of towers, and the borderline cases are mentioned separately (hybrid designs, under water, etc.) elsewhere on this page. |
