← HistoryWhich mechanism caused Viking longships to sail up rivers?
A)Centerboard keel hydrodynamic lift
B)Shallow draft allows maneuverability✓
C)Lateen sail increased windward ability
D)Ballast lowered center of gravity
💡 Explanation
Shallow draft allows longships to navigate rivers, because the limited under-hull depth lets them traverse shallow riverbeds. Therefore, river navigation was increased, rather than ocean sailing, which benefits from a deeper keel for stability.
