Which structural deficiency significantly increased risk during 18th century ship construction utilizing 'frame-first' methods?

💡 Explanation

During frame-first construction, the hull planking was attached after the frame was complete contributing to a weak hull-frame intersection because planking stresses were not well distributed.. Therefore, hull integrity decreased, especially under sail stress, unlike keel, caulking, or mast issues which influenced other factors.
