"Pitch" was a waterproofing sealant used on wooden ships of the 12th through 19th centuries. It is an oleoresin (also called gum) dissolved in turpentine, and is derived from coniferous wood. When heated, pitch can be poured as liquid. At room temperature, it is breakable and appears to be solid. However, pitch is still actually an extremely dense LIQUID, 100 to 200 billion times as dense as water. (see related experiment)
