Would 90ft be about right for mast?
Now confused. Found another place says 30ft.

From top deck by bridge.
For lack of knowing proper name the same deck as smokestacks is attached. I'm building a model of the USS Laffey DD-724. I made one many years ago out of match sticks which was ok. Now wanting to make a better, more accurate one but hard to get good pics of the Laffey and dimensions. What I found, the mast would be 90 ft at that point. Sound, right? Making it with wood.
