These rats carry plague and disease, infecting your crew and rendering them too sick to sail. A nastier surprise, though, would be rats. Sometimes the crew may NOT be missing, and instead the ghost ship was a facade for an ambush for any investigating parties on board, a nasty surprise. Sometimes, they could just be regular ghost ships, holds still full of cargo and crew missing. These ships are encountered on the open seas and fly a tattered flag of the country they dutifully served before meeting their horrid fate as ghost ships, doomed to roam the ocean with no way of returning home.

To capture a ship, it is recommended that you take more than one ship for the needed minimum crew to sail requirement. Ghost Ship Treasure => This is our lucky day, Captain! We found a treasure map in the captain's cabin! All ships found in open world are available for capture.Ghost Ship Gold => This is our lucky day, Captain! We found 200 doubloons in the captain's cabin!.Ghost Ship Empty => Ghost ships! Nothing but cockroaches on board, Captain! The ship is completely empty, all we can do is scrap it!.Ghost Ship Disease => Oh no Captain!!! The ship is full of plague rats! Five of our boys got sick and we had to throw them overboard.„Captain! There's a mysterious ship on the horizon. They can be a boon or a bomb of plague or ambushing pirates. Abandoned ships are, well, abandoned ships, in horrible condition(no sails, tiniest sliver of hull points).
