Broken Ribs
Little towns and villages on the east coast of Canada often have preserved, and not so preserved, old wooden boats sitting on piers or on shore. Sometimes they are fixed up enough just to keep them from falling apart. The boat detail pictured here seems to be an example of the latter. The planking and ribs seem older than the riser (the wider board running lengthwise). The red gunwale board also looks less worn.
I found this example located at the tourist magnet, Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia.
