Answer 2

Hey dear,

◆ Ships are painted at frequent intervals because -
- Mostly ships are made of iron or iron alloys.
- This iron may easily get corroded due to salty seawater.
- So to avoid direct contact of water with iron, these ships are painted.
- Also those paints contain some lead/zinc in them which provides protection against rusting.

Hope this helped you. Thanks for asking..
