The lore:
The BCS (Bay company ship) Bitterweed is a fictional vessel built for a mini-event in SMH, based very loosely on HMS Fly (1763). In her only confrontation the Bitterweed faced off against the Hotspur, bravely exchanging fire before boarding and sinking the Hotspur. After this duel, the Bitterweed was retired in favour of her larger counterpart, the BCS Broadleaf (which will be published whenever we stop using her).

How to:
Sails:
Sail controls are next to the helm at the stern of the ship, I can't teach you how to sail a ship but the levers are used to control the sails. The ship is made to be used on low physics at 30% wind, or higher at higher physics settings
Guns:
The guns are controlled via mouse aim from the control handles each side of the ship. The guns have no horizontal turning capabilities, so you have to turn the whole ship for that. To load the cannons, put shells in the ammo belts of the cannons, and fire from the gunner seat to cycle.
