← HistoryWhich consequence results when Viking longships beached during rapidly ebbing tidal flow?
A)Increased risk of hull fracture✓
B)Quicker cargo offloading rates
C)Reduced need for ballast stones
D)Improved defensive firing positions
💡 Explanation
Hull fracture risk increases due to unsupported keel stressing during Tidal Grounding because the hull's weight concentrates on specific ground contact points. Therefore the hull may crack, rather than load distributing evenly as it would on water or a prepared slipway.
