History

Which limitation on Viking longship cargo volume increased because transverse frames contacted the hull prematurely?

A)Reduced stability during high-speed maneuvers
B)Compromised hull integrity upon grounding
C)Increased draft, limiting river navigation
D)Accelerated mast fatigue from load shift

💡 Explanation

Increased draft occurs via hydrostatic displacement because premature frame contact increased effective underwater volume from cargo weight. Therefore, higher draft limits shallow water voyages, rather than impacting stability alone.
