The wooden planks were lined with copper or brass. The bar keel was made from wood. A special skill was the fastening of the wooden planks with copper rivets which were not allowed to be in contact with the iron. Around the middle of the 19th century an increasing number of steamships command of the ship, but the captain based his instructions on the advice themselves.
