Except it would bend and break in the swells. And trust me, as a sailor, you need to experience what it truly is like on the water. That boat could not have survived. Period. Others have outlined why before.
There were no swells during the time Noah and crew were floating around. And even if there were, the swells had no effect on the ark since it survived.

I'm certainly not trying to prop up the idea that the flood/ark story is historically accurate or that Noah is a historical figure, which I don't believe, but I think it's interesting that the Masons (who also accept Noah's Ark as a symbolic and allegorical tale) venerate Noah as "The Great Navigator."

Bolshoi! You obviously have no idea of fluid dynamics and it is clear you have no ocean experience. I'm not even going to argue the point with you, as you just have no idea what you are talking about. Come back when you can understand the basics.

The Freemasons are a pretty religious group. If you don't believe in god you can't be a member.

The flood was able to move the continents and make mountains but not to have any swells to threaten the Ark or lay thick deposits 9f very fine sediments all the time laying layers of cobbles.

Yes, similar to "accepting the existence of a higher power" in AA, but this can take many, many forms. As regards the Masons, I expect this very rarely extends to fundamentalism and biblical literalism. My family history is pretty deeply entwined with Freemasonry. I have never known, or heard about, a Mason who was a biblical literalist, though I wouldn't say they don't exist.
