History

Which control challenge arose as Viking longships increased in length?

A)Reduced hull torsional stiffness
B)Increased sailcloth production costs
C)Decreased windward sailing ability
D)Greater metal keel susceptibility

💡 Explanation

Reduced torsional stiffness in longer hulls caused increased twist, because frames lacked triangulation; therefore hull integrity was harder to maintain with simple pegged lap joints rather than riveted or braced construction under dynamic wave loading.
