futtock-timbers

In those islands is found a wood called _maria_, [38] which is used to make all the futtock-timbers of all the galleons, galleys, and pataches; and all the knees and compass-timbers, of all sizes required.

Likewise the planks along the sides must be changed, with the exception of the futtock-timbers and top-timbers made of the wood _maria_; for that wood, although cut and not seasoned, never rots, because it is always durable, in one way, without rotting.

For although the cost of employing the natives seems moderate, their decrease is a very great detriment; while the planking, sheathing, and masts are so poor that they must all be renewed every two years, and sometimes oftener, when the only still useful parts are the futtock-timbers.
