History

Which consequence occurred when longship planks experienced over-tensioned lashing?

A)Hull integrity became increasingly porous
B)Rope fibers underwent plastic deformation
C)Sailing speeds became gradually reduced
D)The draft increased imperceptibly

💡 Explanation

Over-tensioned lashing on the strakes applied an increasing hull-separating force. Degradation caused hull porosity to rise because plank's structural integrity lessened under constant stress leading to gaps, therefore water intrusion transpired, rather than localized fiber damage or imperceptible draft changes.
