4 PIRATA: holed hulls, flooded holds and a ship going down
The guns of the pirate frigate La Vengeance now hit for real: a ball smashes through the hull, water floods compartment after compartment, and the ship sinks.
Until now, the cannonballs of La Vengeance couldn’t harm another ship. Now a cannonball smashes a ragged hole in the hull: planks and splinters fly and the timber cracks. If the hole is near the waterline, the sea pours in and spreads through six compartments, bow to stern on both sides. The ship heels, settles by the bow or stern, slows and answers the helm sluggishly.
Once too much water is aboard there is no going back: the sails come in, the lanterns go out, the hull slips under and the masts follow. One lucky shot won’t sink a ship — where and how often you hit matters. Our first target was our own escort sloop, La Corneille, and the swivel guns are aimed by hand.
