History

Which risk increases when a square rigged 18th-century warship heels excessively during heavy weather?

A)Keel fracture during a roll
B)Rudder jamming due to sediment
C)Cannon shifting and hull breaching
D)Mast snapping from sail loading

💡 Explanation

When an 18th-century warship heels excessively, the combination of loose cannon balls and poor securing methods can cause substantial cannon shifting and hull breaching. Therefore, unsecured cannons become a substantial risk, rather than keel fractures, rudder jamming, or mast snapping, which involve different structural or environmental conditions.
