Detailed explanation-1: -The resin, a natural sealant that would only be surpassed by artificial resins and pitch in later times, helped protect timber used for ships to withstand rot from exposure to sea-water. In addition, cedar is structurally a much harder wood than pine or cypress, so it was also useful for building permanent structures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Timber species such as teak (Tectona grandis), sal (Shorea robusta), sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo), benteak (Lagestroemia microcarpa), etc. were used in shipbuilding.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wood is the traditional boat building material used for hull and spar construction. It is buoyant, widely available and easily worked. It is a popular material for small boats (of e.g. 6-metre (20 ft) length; such as dinghies and sailboats).
