Which problem increased dramatically in 10th-century Viking longship construction when using greenwood?

💡 Explanation

Fastener corrosion accelerates when using greenwood because of tannic acids and high moisture content causing galvanic corrosion on iron rivets (electrochemical reaction). Therefore, corrosion is accelerated rather than other structural or fluid dynamic weaknesses, because of electrochemical incompatibility under load.
