Which consequence results when inadequately seasoned timber shipbuilding reaches tropical waters?

💡 Explanation

Hull planking separates because timber shrinkage stresses induce hull failure via dimensional instability. This mechanism overcomes fastening strength, therefore hull breach occurs; rather than other options which involve different environmental stressors.
