>From Chapter 115:

The three men at her mast-heads wore long streamers of narrow red bunting
at their hats; from the stern, a whale-boat was suspended, bottom down; and
hanging captive from the bowsprit was seen the long lower jaw of the last
whale they had slain.

Does "bottom down" here mean upside down?
