Deduction [Solved] Everybody Look at Me 'Cause I'm Sailing on a Boat

[Claire Yeon]

It has been entirely too long since we've played a game. I was recently at a beach with friends and the absolutely magnificent cargo ship Cetus Leader was heading upriver in a clear attempt to remind me of how much I adore giant boats. In honor of the occasion, I have decided to commemorate another bouyancy operated aquatic transport (or bo-at for short) in the form of a guessing game. I am thinking of a ship, and it is up to you to determine the identity of said vessel.

Rules of engagement:

• You have an unlimited number of questions
• They must all be yes/no questions
• First correct answer closes the game
• I will provide a hint every 7 questions if an answer has not been determined by that point

Free hint: It is not Cetus Leader. Ready, go.

Oh goodie, a game.

Is it still seaworthy?

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

Is it somewhere on land?

 

[Laverna]

is it a cruise

 

[Claire Yeon]

No to all of the above. Three questions down.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Did it sink?

Assuming the answer is yes, did it sink in the 1910s?

 

[Everly]

Was the ship built within the last 150 years?

 

[Claire Yeon]

Did it sink?

Assuming the answer is yes, did it sink in the 1910s?

Yes to the first, no to the second

Was the ship built within the last 150 years?

Yes.

Question count: 6

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Was its home port in Europe?

 

[Everly]

Was the ship involved in a war?

 

[Claire Yeon]

No to both.

That makes eight questions, so per my terms, here is a free hint: the ship was longer than 500 feet.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Oh, well, that solves it, then!

Was it an American ship?
