Which critical consequence accompanied the shift from carvel to clinker construction in shipbuilding?

💡 Explanation

When transitioning to clinker construction, overlapping planks arranged along the same axis resulted in longitudinal weakness, because the hull became less effective at distributing strain across the entirety of its base. Therefore a reduction in hull resistance to hogging (bending along the length) resulted, rather than diminished cargo capacity or infestation susceptibility which depend on internal structures, or higher costs related plank curvature.
