P.S. General Fairfax (sinkable)
Designed for traversing the many inland waterways of Sawyer island, the paddle steamer General Fairfax is a reliable and surprisingly fast ship, albeit with a turning circle that leaves much to be desired. Just be cautious in open water.

To start
Head into the front section of the ship (cargo hall/engine room)
Open the front of each boiler
Simply push the button to light them and you’re off
To sink
Head to the rear of the left boiler
Open the ‘smokebox’
Turn the ‘boiler explosion’ key
Stand back and watch the fireworks
I recommend letting the fire burn but if your FPS doesn’t like it, use the firehose at the back of the ship and try puttingit out, the ship will still sink
Warning
Being a walking beam type vessel, she is somewhat top heavy and doesn’t like waves hitting her side on.
In strong waves hit them bow first or find somewhere to lay anchor
