Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Sailing Ships

Why did old sailing ships carry large chests on deck?
Chests were sturdy storage boxes used by sailors to protect tools, navigation instruments, personal items, and valuable cargo from ocean spray and salt moisture during long sea journeys.
What kind of wood was used to build wooden sea ships?
Shipbuilders commonly used durable hardwoods like oak, pine, and teak because these timbers resist water rot and could withstand strong wave impacts in high seas.
How did sailors handle heavy ropes on a ship deck?
Ropes were always neatly coiled in circular coils when not in use so they would not tangle, trip crew members, or jam important pulleys during sudden ocean storms.
