How this is done, I will try to describe to you.
SHIP-BUILDING 77 In a building-yard, or dock, the ground is smoothed, so as to slope evenly down to the water ; and along this are placed a row of thick oak blocks, three feet high, and about four feet apart. On these the whole ship rests as it is built, and down these it slides, when finished, into the water. A stout and straight piece of timber, hewn square, is first laid along these blocks ; this is called the keel, and runs through the whole ...length of the ship. As soon as it is laid down, the timbers are set up, but these have first to be prepared in a very curious manner. They give the form to the sides, and much resemble the ribs of an animal's body. Now it is needful that each one should have its own proper shape, or the ship would have a very deformed appearance, and could never be made to keep out the water. A house, or shed, is prepared as long and as high as the body or hull of the ship ; and on the wall the shape of every single timber is chalked out in its proper place, very exactly.
