Eighteenth-century ships were primarily made from oak due to its strength, durability, and resistance to rot, making it ideal for shipbuilding. Other types of wood, such as pine and cedar, were also used for various parts of the ship, like masts and decks, due to their lighter weight and workability. The choice of wood often depended on regional availability and the specific requirements of the vessel being built.
