← HistoryWhich consequence results when inadequate timber seasoning compromises framing construction in early tall-masted sailing ships?
A)Increased susceptibility to rot✓
B)Elevated center of gravity ensues
C)Sailcloth tearing becomes prominent
D)Hull speed potential diminishes
💡 Explanation
Increased susceptibility to rot occurs because using green wood introduces excessive moisture content, triggering fungal decay. The cellular breakdown weakens the structure via decomposition, rather than offering intended strength; therefore, prompt rot is the outcome rather than immediate stability challenges.
