WOOD WORKING TECHNOLOGY

How did a man and his family construct the Ark out of wood 5000+ years ago?
For people who believe the Bible is literal…
The Ark as described in the Bible is roughly the size of the Titanic. (The Tinanic was longer, but the Ark was wider).
The Titanic was the largest ship of its time when it was launched in 1912. So why was Noah’s incredible ship-building knowledge lost when he landed ashore again, not to be arrived at again for 5 000 years? It took over 2 500 years for the Greeks to come up with the trimere, a mere 100 feet long (Less than 1/5 of the ark). And the triremes were considered a marvel of engeneering at the time.
Plus, the Titanic required over 3 000 full-time workers who worked on the project for four years. And they were using the technology and materials of the early 20th century.
Really, literally?
A man at a time where boats were little more than hollowed-out trunks set out to build a ship the size of the titanic out of wood and it held the sea for 40 days?
