History

Which risk increases when a deep-draft 18th-century sailing ship experiences significant hogging deformation?

A)Rudder jamming due to hull distortion
B)Mast collapse from altered rigging tension
C)Bottom plank seam separation leading to flooding
D)Compass failure from increased magnetic interference

💡 Explanation

When a ship hogs, bending stress increases across the keel because the central portion is subjected to greater bending moment leading to increased strain on planking. Therefore bottom plank seams separate causing flooding, rather than jamming, collapse or failure, which depend on localized system-specific factors.
