The vessel was all this time rapidly breaking up; the bolts of herkeelson and the stempost had started; the deck was broken in, and there was but little hope of her holding together many hours.
The essential principle of this consists in having a stiff gunwale, stiff keelson (inside the ribs), and ribs stout and numerous enough to ensure a permanently strong and stiff framework without the assistance of the lengthways ribbands.
Get out also a bottom strip or keelson with stem- and stern-pieces, which can be alike.
The keelson can be laid along the edge of a plank or some flat surface and blocked up towards the ends to give the desired degree of curvature or rocker.
