Which seaworthiness risk increased when oak warp variations were poorly accounted for during 18th-century ship construction?

💡 Explanation

Decreased hull integrity resulted because oak warp introduces stresses if not properly mitigated during frame construction, leading to weakened joints via stress concentration rather than affecting the sails; therefore, structural failure is the priority.
