Plank on bulkhead, a technique in which a series of shaped bulkheads are placed along the keel to form a shaped stage which will be covered with planks to form the hull of the model. Plank on frame In this technique, the model is built just as the full-size wooden ship is constructed. The keel is laid down in a manner which keeps it straight ...
A Phoenician joint (Latin: coagmenta punicana) is a locked mortise and tenon wood joinery technique used in shipbuilding to fasten watercraft hulls.The locked (or pegged) mortise and tenon technique consists of cutting a mortise, or socket, into the edges of two planks and fastening them together with a rectangular wooden knob.
May be on the keel or on the deck in smaller craft. A deck-stepped mast may be supported by a column below the deck. Mizzen: the aftmost mast and sail in a yawl or ketch, or in a vessel with three or more masts. Oar a wooden pole enlarged on one end to resist the water when pulled. Painter: a short line at the bow of a small boat for tying it off.
Carvel built or carvel planking is a method of boat building in which hull planks are laid edge to edge and fastened to a robust frame, thereby forming a smooth surface. Traditionally the planks are neither attached to, nor slotted into, each other, having only a caulking sealant between the planks to keep water out.
Garboard strakes and related near-keel members Diagram of typical modern metal-hulled ship’s exterior plating, with a single strake highlighted in red. On a vessel's hull, a strake is a longitudinal course of planking or plating which runs from the boat's stempost (at the bows) to the sternpost or transom (at the rear).
Plank fixing, trenails and red lead paint, Qui Nhơn, Vietnam Building the Naga Pelangi - fitting the first plank required aligning many treenails.

As ship design evolved from craft to science, designers learned various ways to produce long curves on a flat surface. Generating and drawing such curves became a part of ship lofting; "lofting" means drawing full-sized patterns, so-called because it was often done in large, lightly constructed mezzanines or lofts above the factory floor.
