Which risk increases when a Viking longship runs aground during a coastal raid at high tide?

💡 Explanation

Hull hogging occurs because the longship’s center is unsupported once the tide ebbs, stressing the keel due to uneven weight distribution; therefore hull structure is at risk of deformation, rather than the rudder, sail, or mast failing first.
