Timbers are the various wood structural pieces that make up the ship’s hull and support the decks and, according to Little, they -did shiver, meaning they splintered and shattered, as in “shivered to pieces.” However, the phrase was not commonly used by pirates. It first appears in print in the late 18th century, and was first popularized by novelist and naval officer Francis Marryat in the early 19th century. Robert Louis Stevenson’s Long John Silver made it famous in “Treasure Island.”
