← HistoryWhich outcome results from using green wood in Viking longship construction?
A)Increased hull structural flexibility✓
B)Enhanced resistance to marine borers
C)Improved sailcloth dyeing properties
D)Reduced vessel draft in shallow waters
💡 Explanation
Using green wood increases the risk of warping due to uneven drying, leading to increased hull warping. This flexibility arises because continued moisture evaporation causes differing stress levels throughout the wood, therefore the resulting plank warpage rather than increased vessel speed.
