    Caulker 
    Address:
    On board 'HMS Forte' 
    • The process of caulking on wooden vessels uses fibres of cotton, and oakum, which consists of pieces of hemp fibre soaked in pine tar. These fibres are driven into the wedge shaped seam between planks with a caulking mallet and a chisel-like device called a caulking iron. The caulking is then covered over with a putty in the case of hull seams, or in deck seams with melted pine pitch in a process referred to as 'Paying'.
