Which outcome resulted from hull design changes in 18th-century ships to maximize cargo capacity and stability?

💡 Explanation

Increased beam and flatter bottoms raised the center of gravity impairing the restoring capabilities after angular displacement – an issue known as metacentric instability – because design focused on volume rather than stability. Therefore instability increased, rather than diminished wave resistance, or optimal buoyancy.
