Which structural risk was amplified when 18th-century ships exceeded displacement limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased displacement amplifies hogging of the keel because insufficient longitudinal strength leads to bending along its length, therefore ships endured increasing stress rather than suffering rudder or propeller related failures that occur from maneuvering.
