History

Which consequence accompanied Norse longship designs experiencing hogging?

A)Rudder effectiveness would increase
B)Hull structural weakening occurred
C)Sailing speed dramatically increased
D)Cargo capacity significantly expanded

💡 Explanation

Hull hogging induced longitudinal bending moment stress, because the vessel experienced greater buoyancy amidships than at the bow/stern. This initiated structural weakening concentrated at joints, therefore hull integrity reduction, rather than increased speed, due to energy distribution.
