wooden ship
Sailing craft, planked
A wooden ship is a vessel built primarily of timber, the standard construction method for seagoing craft until iron and steel hulls emerged in the nineteenth century.
The term now evokes historical vessels—galleons, schooners, clipper ships—or modern replicas: They sailed a replica wooden ship across the Atlantic.
Wooden ships require constant maintenance against rot and marine organisms.
