Everyone shut up there's a Napoleonic Man of War simulator

you can't control the ship directly you have to direct orders and its complicated and i am in love

also i nearly crashed the ship in the tutorial 10/10

@ltwilliammowett and i would tag everyone i know in the age of sail fandom but that would be a lot because everyone needs to know about this

A British sailor throwing a lance bomb from a Royal Navy Drifter.

The lance bomb is exactly what it looks like. roughly 15 kilos of explosives on the end of a stick, to be thrown directly at a submarine that has surfaced alongside a ship.

Apparently one thrown from the small auxiliary ship the HMS Gleaner of the Sea (a repurposed fishing boat) hit the German submarine UB-13 and sank it in April 1916.
