Which limitation occurs when constructing timber sailing ships using unseasoned wood?

💡 Explanation

Reduced hull water-tightness occurs because wood shrinkage causes gaps at plank seams because the volumetric expansion varies anisotropically during drying, so the hull plating distorts and separates therefore compromising the seal rather than providing the structural strength against external forces, or combustion resistance given by treatment.
