Think I recall some mention of the ship data being set to mimic their riding in the water correctly.. & that bad weather can cause instances of ships sinking due to bad weather.

Which, as memory serves Me... did sometimes occur. More notably, as I recall, if they were seriously packed to the gills, with much needed resources or supplies, if you will.

In this day & age, you still hear of ships sinking, due to improper load of cargo.. among other reasons...
