The wood in the bottom of a ship to keep cargo dry is typically referred to as "ballast." Ballast is used to provide stability to the ship by adjusting its weight distribution. In some cases, ballast can also help prevent the cargo from shifting during rough seas. Additionally, ballast can help regulate the ship's draft and buoyancy to ensure safe navigation.

In World War I, the wood placed at the bottom of trenches was primarily used for flooring and to provide a stable, dry surface for soldiers. This wooden flooring, often made from planks or logs, helped prevent mud accumulation and reduced the risk of trench foot and other health issues related to wet conditions. Additionally, it offered some insulation from the cold ground. The use of wood was crucial for maintaining trench hygiene and comfort in the harsh conditions of the battlefield.
