Cargo plunder! It all looks gold to me!

Ship is sunk when the last level is either hit with "Call Leviathan" or during a battle that the "sink chance" (Based on ship count) activates and the ship hits the sea floor.

Sea Floor or bottom is essentially limbo for ships with no owner. You can pull them up using a wreck hunting fleet.

This page will show how many ships are currently on the sea floor - https://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?p ... tore=ships

so every now and then a ship is sunk with out it being due to no ransome? or is it every now and then the ship you plunder sinks instead of going to the plunderer

Check the bottom of this page Mack - https://s2.piratesglory.com/?page=help&action=plunder

Depending on the number of ships you own, you have a higher sink chance for your tail, which in essence means a lost level. If your tail is level one and the sink chance activates, it is truly sunk to the bottom. Lost to both you, and the plunderer and only recovered through shipwreckhunt
