← HistoryWhich risk increases when a Viking longship runs aground during a coastal raid at high tide?
A)Rudder cavitation weakens keel
B)Hull hogging after tide recedes✓
C)Sailcloth degradation lowers speed
D)Mast shear reduces maneuverability
💡 Explanation
Hull hogging occurs because the longship’s center is unsupported once the tide ebbs, stressing the keel due to uneven weight distribution; therefore hull structure is at risk of deformation, rather than the rudder, sail, or mast failing first.
