Which consequence arises when 18th-century shipbuilders over-tightened iron hoops during barrel construction?

💡 Explanation

Over-tightening iron hoops induces excessive compressive stress, initiating hoop stress corrosion, therefore weakening the assembled barrel, rather than only surface-level water rot, because the barrel's joints become susceptible to cracking, leading to compromised structural integrity.
