It was a brutal battle; let me tell you a story about us, and our previous ship. The ship got hit by a huge cannon ball, Water starting seeping into the bottom floor. The ship had started to sink. Me and the crew ran to see what had happened. What I saw was petrifying. A giant hole, roughly 15 to 25cm, and water was rushing into the ship. I ran upstairs to try and warn the captain about what had happened. He was shocked, Unfortunetly for us though, there was no Lifeboats on the ship, so we were pretty much doomed. The entire ship went into a panic, the ship was turning to the right and was starting to fall forwards. I was at the stern when this started; It was roughly 2 or 3 floors away from me, but the water started affecting the ship majorly, it turned about 90° degrees in a matter of minutes. It had been turning rapidly, one minute it was straight-forward, one minute the ship would be in all sorts of directions. Suddenly, the ship broke in half. The first part sunk in under a minute, but the Stern was still holding on. As much as we tried to patch up the holes, but there was no use. The stern went down, although there weren't any lifeboats, there were life rings, I managed to grab one before it went down. Luckily, a nearby fishing ship got to us before we drowned. Only 7 out of our 45 ship members survived. It truly was a tragedy.
