Which consequence often resulted when Viking longships exceeded seaworthiness design limits?

💡 Explanation

Longships experienced structural failures especially from excessive wave forces; hogging occurred because insufficient rigidity allowed the ship's ends to deflect upwards, therefore the hull could crack catastrophically rather than distribute the stress evenly along its length.
