Which risk increases when mortise-and-tenon ship joints, constructed before consistent wood seasoning, encounter extended saltwater immersion?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated anaerobic decomposition is risked because improperly seasoned wood contains residual nutrients, promoting bacterial growth, which is exacerbated by saltwater immersion that deprives necessary oxygen, therefore hastening wood rot rather than merely promoting superficial decay or fastener damage.
