A plank assembly for the formation of a ship's hull comprises interengaging hooks in only line contact with one another and enabling angular displacement of the two planks about an axis. The planks are also provided with arcuate flanges centered on this and bolted together and with attachment flanges enabling the planks to be secured to transverse ribs of the ship's hull.

Method of making a ship's hull

A ship hull is formed of a plurality of transverse and generally parallel ribs and a plurality of side-by-side plank-forming and generally parallel elongated profiles each having two generally parallel londigitudinal edges abutting the edges of the adjacent profiles. One of the edges is formed with an inwardly extending flange engagng the ribs. Thus the flanges stiffen the profiles. Screw fasteners extend through the flanges and into the transverse ribs for securing the profiles to the transverse ribs. Seals form watertight joints between the abutting longitudinal edges of the profiles.
