History

Which limitation appears when a Viking longship experiences hogging?

A)Reduced seaworthiness in heavy seas
B)Decreased maneuverability in shallow water
C)Inability to conduct coastal raiding
D)Compromised sailing speed in estuaries

💡 Explanation

Hogging bends the longship's keel upwards amidships due to uneven wave support meaning the longitudinal bending moment exceeds material strength; therefore seaworthiness is reduced because the hull risks structural failure in severe wave states, rather than affecting other capabilities.
