History

Which consequence results when inadequately seasoned timber shipbuilding reaches tropical waters?

A)Rudder lock due to corrosion
B)Hull breach from plank distortion
C)Sail embrittlement from UV exposure
D)Mast failure because improper rigging

💡 Explanation

Hull planking separates because timber shrinkage stresses induce hull failure via dimensional instability. This mechanism overcomes fastening strength, therefore hull breach occurs; rather than other options which involve different environmental stressors.
