Hey, I missed this when you posted it over 2 months ago, heh.
I don't understand what you mean. A picture would provide much
clarification. However, it sounds like a quite effective means of
strengthening a ship. Do you have ay pictures of this ship, or of the
internal support structures? I recently began experimenting with
structures strengthened by "rings." I construct out of bricks large
rings which rest against the outer hull of the vessel. I then construct
around these rings the ship's hull. I haven't yet made a complete vessel
by this method of construction. Though tests of experimental sections
indicate great promise.
