wooden ships

Wooden ships are large vessels constructed primarily using timber frameworks, planks, and fasteners. Built manually by skilled artisans, these ships rely on the natural strength and buoyancy of wood to stay afloat and withstand the forces of wind and water. They feature a hull, masts, sails, and rigging, allowing them to navigate oceans and seas. Historically significant, they were essential for exploration, trade, and warfare before the advent of iron and steel ships. Despite advances in materials, wooden ships remain valued for their craftsmanship and historical importance.
