I thought it was done in the same manner as the old Pirate ships. So like the ends and middle were separate parts so they make the boats longer/shorter set to set.

You're right! I've never actually built a pirate ship of any sort. Always saw the tanker mould which was one huge piece.

The tanker mould is just one big piece, but that is so it can float in water.
In one of the older city series they had a whole big thing about boats that could actually float.
I got one of the old hulls somewhere around here. I found that, although it could float, one small wave to the side of the vessel would capsize it almost immediately

That's why boat sets came with keels.
