Which consequence results when a 18th-century warship experiences hogging?

💡 Explanation

Hogging causes the ship's ends to droop relative to the middle because of uneven weight distribution along its length, straining the hull, and causing deformation. Hull separation risk at seams increases drastically; therefore deck plank seams would significantly widen, rather than mast shearing or rudder issues.
