Which navigational risk increased for 18th-century square-rigged ships traversing the Strait of Magellan?

💡 Explanation

Greater 'hogging' becomes likelier, because longitudinal bending moment increases due to uneven buoyancy distribution along the ship's length when encountering varied water depths. Therefore, ships risked structural failure in heavy seas, rather than erroneous timekeeping or compass readings which do not relate.
