History

Which outcome occurs on a wooden sailing ship when hogging structurally overloads her keel?

A)Shearing induces hull plank separation
B)Torsion prevents accurate celestial navigation
C)Compression relieves mast rigging stress
D)Material fatigue accelerates copper sheathing loss

💡 Explanation

Shearing induces hull plank separation because hogging causes the ship's ends to droop relative to midships which concentrates bending stress, therefore planks separate due to fastener failure, producing leaks; rather than the celestial navigation or rigging outcomes.
