On Viking longships crossing fjords, which risk increased substantially if the rope bridge maintaining structural integrity became waterlogged from prolonged submersion?

💡 Explanation

Moisture increases the weight on a rope, causing catenary sag and additional deck instability because the suspended structure is weakened; therefore, sag develops easily and becomes more sensitive to shifting loads, rather than a concern about corrosion at a higher location.
