Which outcome arises when timber ships, during the 18th century, exceeded longitudinal strength limits during construction?

💡 Explanation

When longitudinal strength limits were exceeded, hogging occurred because a ship's ends tend to droop relative to the center, causing excessive tensile stress along the keel, potentially leading to hull separation along plank seams. Therefore, hogging causes hull separation, rather than sagging, rotting, or weathering, which depend on different stress or environmental factors.
