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.

Water is essentially a huge heatsink. It limits quite how cold the ship and the environment around it can get. So while it might get cold enough to require the other methods mentioned, it’s not quite as huge an issue as it can be on land. Assuming you are dry that is.
