Which control challenge arose as Viking longships increased in length?

💡 Explanation

Reduced torsional stiffness in longer hulls caused increased twist, because frames lacked triangulation; therefore hull integrity was harder to maintain with simple pegged lap joints rather than riveted or braced construction under dynamic wave loading.
