Which structural outcome results from brine penetration in Viking longship timbers?

💡 Explanation

Brine penetration induced Crystallization causes salt deposition within wood fibers, which creates internal stresses that weaken the wood, therefore reducing global hull strength, rather than encouraging elasticity or buoyancy changes or creating conditions directly fostering fungus activity.
