Literature

Sky-rakers strictly speaking, is a sail above the fore-royal, the main-royal, or the mizzen-royal, more frequently called "sky-scrapers." In general parlance any top-sail is so called.
"Dashed by the strange wind's sport, we were sunk deep in the green sea's trough; and before we could utter an ejaculatory prayer, were upheaved upon the crown of some fantastic surge, peering our sky-rakers into the azure vault of heaven."- C. Thomson: Autobiography, p. 120. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
