Which consequence resulted from 'hogging' experienced on long wooden sailing ships in the 18th century?

💡 Explanation

When a ship 'hogs', the bow and stern droop relative to the center because wave action induces longitudinal bending stresses, weakening hull integrity. Therefore reduced longitudinal strength resulted, rather than improved integrity or stability, which occur with different hull designs and load distributions.
