Which risk accelerates when timber frames of 18th-century ships experience sustained, high humidity?

💡 Explanation

Elevated humidity fosters fungal growth; therefore, a higher moisture level enables rapid dry rot propagation rates because hyphae spread via osmosis rather than by moisture content alone.
