Which outcome occurs when a fully-laden Viking longship encounters unexpectedly shallow coastal waters?

💡 Explanation

Reduced maneuverability occurs because increased drag from the hull increases because the keel nears the seabed, triggering increased frictional resistance; therefore maneuverability decreases, affecting raiding success rather than increased rowing because that would demand deep keel designs.
