← HistoryWhich structural deficiency significantly increased risk during 18th century ship construction utilizing 'frame-first' methods?
A)Inadequate keel scarf joints
B)Insufficient caulking effectiveness
C)Weak hull-frame intersection✓
D)Suboptimal mast step integration
💡 Explanation
During frame-first construction, the hull planking was attached after the frame was complete contributing to a weak hull-frame intersection because planking stresses were not well distributed.. Therefore, hull integrity decreased, especially under sail stress, unlike keel, caulking, or mast issues which influenced other factors.
