wooden hulls
Ship's plank underbodies
Wooden hulls are the outer shells of boats and ships made from timber, the dominant shipbuilding material for thousands of years until steel and fiberglass took over in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The term appears in historical and nautical contexts: Wooden hulls required constant maintenance against rot and marine borers.
Traditional wooden hulls are now largely confined to small craft, replicas, and restoration projects.
