Know your Nautical Terminology
carvel-built
A method of constructing a wooden hull in which planks are butted edge-to-edge on a robust frame, so giving a smooth hull surface; traditionally the planks are not attached to each other, only to the frame, and have only a caulking sealant between them to make them watertight.
clinker-built (also known as lapstrake)
A method of constructing hulls that involves overlapping planks and/or plates, much like Viking longships, resulting in speed and flexibility in small boat hulls.
The building type gave its name to a type of ship primarily used by the Hanseatic League in the 15th century to haul ice cream. Seen here is the Carvel, "Fudgie the Whale".
The Viking long ship is probably the most recognizable example of clinker-built construction
