All merchant vessels have a randomly determined cargo. It sounds like this one was "munitions". If you're too close to an explosion, your boat will take damage. Fuel in a tanker or munitions in a cargo ship can create very large explosions, so my guess is that's what happened.
Yep, he blowed up REAL good!
