← HistoryWhich limitation, when exceeded regarding ship timber supplies driving ship construction within 18th-century Holland, resulted in decreased hull reinforcement?
A)Increased ballast shifting events
B)Diminished frame component interlocking✓
C)Accelerated keel sagging failures
D)Elevated hydrodynamic drag values
💡 Explanation
Diminished frame component interlocking happened because decreased timber supply forced the use of smaller or weaker interlocking components, thereby reducing structural integrity of the ship, rather than causing ballast or sagging itself.
