Strange thing, I heard two different frequency's of shivering in that
clip, the clapping slow sounding one I bet was the mast, the faster
one the hull.

RedCloud shivers quite often, but it only has one frequency of
shivering, the shiver is always the same, just different durations and
strength.

Anyone elses boat shiver?

No, it sounds like dropping a box of eggs from a great height.

Shiver me timbers. You've heard it but I bet you don't know what it
means. I'll educate you morons.

From the archives:

"I can tell you that timber is: 2a c : a curving frame branching outward
from the keel of a ship and bending upward in a vertical direction that
is usually composed of several pieces united. And...shiver is 2 : to
tremble in the wind as it strikes first one and then the other side (of
a sail) transitive senses : to cause (a sail) to shiver by steering
close to the wind. (Merriam-Webster online).

"Shiver me/my timber. I can't find any authority to agree, but I thought
that this was another saying derived from sailing ships. It certainly
seems firmly attached to pirates. I think the saying represents the
shock of a large wave hitting a wooden ship broadside and causing the
hull to shudder. In other words, it expresses shock or surprise.

"Shiver My Timbers! ... (expletive denoting surprise or disbelief)
Presumably, this expression alludes to a ship's striking a rock or shoal
so hard that her timbers shiver. The expression was first seen in 1834
in the novel _Jacob Faithfully_ by Frederick Marryat. In 1881, Robert
Louis Stevenson found it to be the perfect exclamation for the irascible
Long John Silver: "So! Shiver me timbers, here's Jim Hawkins!" This
stereotypical expletive became extremely popular with writers of sea
yarns and Hollywood swashbucklers.
From _When a Loose Cannon Flogs a Dead Horse There's the Devil to Pay:
Seafaring Words in Everyday Speech_ (1996) by Olivia A. Isil "

This explanation is also from ignorant morons. "Shiver me timbers" comes
from what happens when an old wooden sailing ship of war, a frigate for
example, takes a broadside from an enemy warship. The shot shivers the
timbers. It's that simple. Why is it I, Wilbur Hubbard, seem to be the
only one who knows anything in this sorry excuse for a news group?

Anyway, Joe, you saying a ship "shivers" in rough seas is just a show of
your ignorance or perhaps of your stupidity or maybe both. A ship might
"shudder." It may "shake" or "heave" but it doesn't shiver.

If your boat was a thin rod it would have only one modality of "shivering"
and one fundamental frequency of resonance. Your iron bucket is a complex
structure with multiple modailities and a complex of harmonics.

Only when it snows.
