Which limit was crucial during Viking longship coastal navigation?

💡 Explanation

Viking longships navigated shallow coastal waters; keel drag creates substantial resistance on the seabed, severely limiting maneuverability because increased drag leads to grounding. Therefore, keel depth defined navigation limits, rather than sail stall or rivet fatigue, which affected open-sea conditions.
