History

Which consequence arises from saltwater intrusion during wooden ship construction?

A)Decreased hull structural integrity
B)Enhanced sail performance
C)Improved rudder responsiveness
D)Increased ballast stability

💡 Explanation

Increased saltwater contact promotes galvanic corrosion in iron fasteners, leading to material degradation and decreased structural integrity of wooden hulls because of electrolytic action. Therefore, hull integrity is lessened, rather than improved sailing or rudder function, which are independent.
