Which risk increased in 18th-century shipbuilding after the adoption of bulkheads?

Reduced transverse structural redundancy results from bulkheads creating discrete compartments, because bulkhead installation removed continuous frame members. Now, loads weren't distributed evenly; therefore, frames adjacent to panels bore disproportionate stress rather than whole structure benefiting from evenly dispersed stress.
