A shipboard is a type of boat construction where the hull consists of planks or boards. It is believed to be one of the oldest methods of boat building and was prevalent in the early days of shipbuilding. Shipbuilding has since evolved, but shipboards continue to be used in modern times for specific types of boats such as canoes, kayaks, and small wooden boats.
The shipboard typically consists of several boards that are laid edge to edge and fastened together with caulking and nails. The seams between the boards are then sealed with a caulking material such as tar or pitch. The hull is then sanded and painted to provide protection against water and weather.
Shipboards are known for their strength, durability, and suitability for use in shallow waters. They are also aesthetically pleasing, with the natural beauty of the wood being showcased.
While shipboards are not as common in modern boatbuilding, they are still appreciated for their unique characteristics and nostalgia for traditional boat-building techniques.
