An "old boston whaler" with foam core?

(closes coffin and injects the necessary)

A friend told me of an old Boston Whaler used as a yard workboat. At the
end of the season, this was the last boat in the water, used for all kinds
of chores, including breaking/moving ice.

After serious ice duty, they lifted the boat out on davits (or crane?). The
bottom simply peeled away, where the ice had cut it, leaving the foam core
and liner intact.

I was frightened by the idea of a conspiracy that was
causing it all.
But then I was terrified that maybe there was no plan,
really. Is this unpleasant mess all a mistake?
