Paddle gunboat Ram ‘General Haslerig’
In dire times of war, civilian vessels like the General Haselrig often find themselves drafted. Originally built for cargo and tug work on rivers, she’s now outfitted as a ram ship to force her way through blockades! Warranty void if taken into open water…

This causes a boiler explosion and slowly begins flooding the vessel
2
Similar to method 1 but also requires winds to be turned up (atleast 40%)
Notes
Being a sidewheeler, in very rough waves she will be difficult to control
As a converted civilian vessel, her armour is non existent – Speed is your armour
