Which structural weakness increased when 18th-century shipbuilders rapidly assembled green timber hulls?

💡 Explanation

When green timber was rapidly assembled, differential shrinkage resulted in loosening joinery as the wood dried because the assembly lacked the time for proper seasoning and stress relief. Therefore, increased susceptibility to hogging resulted, rather than borer vulnerability, corrosion, or instability which depend on different material processes or external conditions.
