S.S. Demetrius (Destructible)
In the days before oil tankers the size of countries, when coal was still king, ships like the Demetrius were a common sight puttering along coastlines hauling vast loads of coal to wherever it was needed. It’s lucky she can use the same coal to extend her range to the edges of the earth!

To start
Head into the deckhouse aft
Go down the ladder into the engine room
Simply Turn the key to start the boiler
Once steam pressure has risen, you’re good to go
To sink
Head to the Wheelhouse amidship
Under the map table find a keypad
Choose a sink mode
1
Begin the sink instantly
2
Turn up the wind and sail head first into waves, eventually she’ll sink (recommend around 60%)
NOTE
If too much water surrounds the boiler while it is still lit, this will cause the boiler to explode, splitting the ship.
If you don’t want this, turn off the boiler once the engine room starts flooding
Notes
Envisioned mainly for coastal routes, heavy seas will swamp her decks
