Which risk increases for Viking longships when saturated ropes experience freezing temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Freezing causes ice formation in the rope's porous structure, where mass transfer increases the overall rope weight and raises the ship’s center of gravity. This amplifies instability and thus increases capsize risk, because it elevates the center of gravity, rather than altering the hull integrity.
