Regarding new boat design and building, I see the process with my eyes:
An old boat, replacing all the rotten ribs with new, replacing all the planks with new and you have the new boat, exactly same as the old. I suppose the process is going on from 200BC.
The new evolution in boat design belongs to the Vikings. They don’t have ram bow and built to survive harsh sees.
