It even has the ladder rather than a spiral stair?!? If so, can you explain the reference to joints in the ladder? I'm having trouble visualizing them, since if I'm reading it correctly, the sides are ropes...which seems to me would make the ladder bendy enough to haul up & stow easily, without having to add additional hardware to make it fold.
(Minor descriptive confusion aside, I do love the pulpit as a prow, and the final paragraph of the chapter: "the world's a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete...")
Whoops, haha I forgot about the ladder. No, it's just a regular wineglass pulpit. I was picturing a ladder like this, but less fancy: http://www.skipjackmarinegallery.com/product/PHSA04.html
Or one where the rungs are wood and the sides are ropes.
