S.S. Baglan (sinkable)
A unique design, the Baglan was the product of a designer getting the blueprints for a tramp steamer and a small paddle tug mixed up. The result was a Frankenstein’s monster of a ship with the hull form of a normal steamer but the propulsion system of a walking beam engine…

To start
Head to the boiler room located in the middle of the ship
Open the boiler doors and press the ignition button
Closing the door extinguishes the fire, leave it open
To sink
In the deckhouse, enter the map room next to the captain’s quarters
On the keypad on the Marconi machine type either ‘1’ or ‘2’
1 gives a dynamic sink, you will need to turn up the waves for this
2 instantly starts the sinking process
Notes
Due to the nature of paddle wheels, in high waves she can get unstable. If she starts to roll excessively, turn the bow INTO the waves and if necessary, drop anchor.
Failure to do so may result in capsizes (you have been warned)
