clinker
Clinker is a stony residue or byproduct produced from various industrial processes, particularly in the manufacturing of cement. In the case of cement, it is usually a hard, dark grey nodular material made by heating ground limestone and clay at high temperatures. The cooling clinker is then ground into fine powder, which is used in construction. The term can also refer to slag in metalworking, or waste from coal-fired power plants.

Clinker
Clinker built is a method of boat building where the edges of hull planks overlap, called a land. In craft of any size planks are also joined end to end into a strake. The technique developed in northern Europe and was successfully used by the Vikings and typical for the Hanseatic cog. A contrasting method, where plank edges are butted smoothly seam to seam, is known as carvel construction. Examples of clinker-built boats directly descended from those of Viking shipbuilders are the traditional round-bottomed Thames skiffs of the River Thames, and the larger, cargo-carrying Norfolk wherries of England.
