Clinker-Built Ships

Ocean gusts can easily capsize a boat of ordinary craftsmanship.

The seafaring people of northern Europe came up with clinker-built ships around 2nd century AD, a technique which saw use well into the Middle Ages. Essentially, the method involves building a boat's hull with its outer planks overlapping each other. This kind of construction produced a lighter vessel as it displaced less water which, in turn, provided an increase in speed. Furthermore, a clinker-built ship withstood deeper waters well, as its construction could slightly twist and flex when battered by waves.
