Which outcome accompanies increased wood drying rates during frame construction of ships-of-the-line?

💡 Explanation

Increased drying rate causes wood shrinkage, leading gaps in seams, thus reducing watertightness because differential stresses develop between planks using wood's dimensional instability, rather than increased overall structural integrity when dried gradually.
