Love the look of the Shields. I think at some point boat designers calculated the hull speed and then calculated the height of the wave created and added enough freeboard to the boat design to prevent water coming on deck. (Then marketing said yeah, add more freeboard so we can have standing headroom and build rooms inside.)

Any faster and we'd be under!

The stern of a displacement hull vessel will begin to submerge as you approach hull speed. It's settling into the trough of its own wake(s). Even kayaks do it. Someone told me a long time ago that a displacement vessel could "theoretically sink itself if it had enough power".
