Which structural adaptation results when a Viking longship encounters heavy, rough seas?

💡 Explanation

Longships employed clinker construction; overlapping planks allowed controlled hull compliance because plank edges could slide slightly, dissipating stress through inter-plank friction, therefore, the hull flexes elastically rather than experiencing catastrophic failure at a critical cross section.
