Vessel panel

The Vessel panel on the sunshine widget has information about the ship you are currently on. The vessel panel shows:


 * The speed meter, which shows how fast the ship is going.
 * The damage meter, which shows how much damage the ship has taken.
 * The bilge meter, which shows how much bilgewater the ship has.
 * The name of the crew that owns the ship.
 * The crew's sea battle rating.
 * The name of the ship
 * The flag the ship is in
 * An icon showing that the ship is locked, if any.
 * A list of the pirates aboard, as well as icons showing what duty station they are at (if any).
 * The "Disembark" button, which lets you get off the ship if it is in port at an island.

Officers and above in the crew that owns the ship have access to some features that they otherwise would not be able to see. These are:


 * The "Sail" button, which gets the ship going to the charted course.
 * The "Port/Deport" button, which lets you put the ship into port or pull it out of port, respectively.
 * The "Hiring Jobbers" tick box, which puts a jobbing notice on the notice board or takes it down.

Historical Notes
The "Sail" button used to be labeled "Set Sail", and there was a time that ships couldn't be locked.
