The mast of a ship is very important to the movement and navigation of the ship.
You are describing the mast.
"a voyage or excursion in a ship""a piece of material extended on a mast to catch the wind and propel a boat, ship or other vessel." (Oxford American Dictionaries.)
The main mast is the tallest of all masts on the ship. If all masts are the same height, then the one with the top navigationlight is the main mast. If there is only one mast, then that would be the main mast.
