Which consequence arises due to inaccuracies in chronometer manufacturing during long sea voyages?

💡 Explanation

Errors accrued in chronometers introduced systematic errors in longitude reckoning because dead reckoning alone didn't suffice. Errors resulted in incorrect navigation particularly after extended voyages; therefore, accumulated timing drift compromised accurate position fixing, rather than directly causing any structural weaknesses.
