Its a type of material designed to make ships from.
As they said on the video, its made from wood pulp and water then frozen into sheets (which could be screwed together)
The whole construction would then be put into the water, this would seal any holes as water flowed into them and froze.
The idea was to make Cost effective ships from this stuff.
Sea-water is always cold around Britain, so the ship would never melt.

@darkshadow851 It's only a play on words if it's some sort of joke. It's more than likely a typo in this case.
