History

Which limit to exploration occurred when deep-keeled longships sailed shallow rivers?

A)Keel struck river bottom obstructing sailing.
B)Sail angle mismatched river turns
C)Oar blades contacted riverbank.
D)Hull speed exceeded river current

💡 Explanation

Reduced maneuverability occurred because of the grounding caused by a large draft via **keel interference**; therefore, navigation was restricted rather than by matching sail directions or relative speeds, which may affect course but not prevent passage alone.
