How did Ships Keep Warm?

I’ve been watching the TV Show The Terror, and I was curious as to how ships in that era (1800s) were able to keep warm or at least insulated against extreme temperatures.

They didn’t.

Wooden ships were basically the ambient temperature.

Steam ships had a constant source of heat, bug wasting that heat by transmitting it around the ship just increased fuel consumption and reduced speed.
