Which consequence arose as Viking longships became longer?

💡 Explanation

Greater length increased the bending moment, thereby increasing risk of Hogging, because the vessel becomes relatively less resistant to bending, leading to decreased transverse structural stability, rather than increased maneuverability in rivers.
