← HistoryWhich consequence occurred due to differential seasoning when constructing early 18th-century plank keels?
A)Increased hull hydrostatic instability
B)Keel hogging and subsequent collapse✓
C)Rapid marine borer infestations
D)Catastrophic rudder stock shear failure
💡 Explanation
Keel hogging led to collapse occurs because differential seasoning causes non-uniform wood shrinkage applying bending moments. Keel hogging creates an upward curve, therefore, the keel structure weakens, rather than other specific localized failures involving marine life or distinct components.
